Help with Westinghouse 22" LCM-22w2 LCD. Resolution issues.

[IamDavid]

Anything which runs @ a different resolution than the standard 1650*1050 won't work. Monitor turns off with a message to change resolution. Happens in both Windows and Ubuntu. Doesn't make sense though because before computer loads windows/ubuntu I have the splash screens and BIOS which aren't 1650/1050..

Any ideas?

Both ATI and NVIDIA have flat-panel options under Windows. It seems only NVIDIA has those options with their driver in Linux. Try the opposite of what you're currently using (monitor scaling vs. graphics card scaling). Also make sure you have monitor "drivers" (INF file describing horiz/vert sync) installed. Verify that all resolutions are asking for 60 Hz.
