Getting 1920x1080 out of my laptop

[krotchy]

I have an inspiron 700m with a 1.6GHz pentium M in it. I can get it to output 1920x1200 to my TV, but I cant find a way to get 1920x1080. Does anyone know a registry tweak, video hack or anything I can do to mess with the preset resolutions of my video adapter.

The adapter is an Intel 82852/82855 Integrated video adapter, and its pretty crummy overall, but I just want to browse web pages and whatnot in 1080p from my couch sometimes.

Did you try unchecking the "show only modes this monitor can support" box in the display properties?

You might need to use Powerstrip.

yeah, when I unchecked show only modes supported, It enabled 1920x1200 (which looks ok but a little weird)

Before that it didnt give me past 1280x1024

what is power strip

So, I was messing with powerstrip for a while, and it appears I can send 1080p internally to my laptop monitor (it scrolls, native 1280x800) However the monitor resolutions are locked and it wont let me create a custom adapter resolution for outputting on the VGA adapter.
