I've been using HDMI output of my laptop until now. However, I wanted to attach my laptop to a display using VGA because DVI is already occupied. It would reset itself to 1600x1200 after I select 1920x1200 and hit apply every time, whether it's in Windows or nVidia Control Panel. I am unable to change the color setting to 16-bit either, thinking that bandwidth may be an issue.
I tried with a different laptop with Intel 4500m and 1920x1200 was no problem so it's not the monitor or cable's problem.
If it's of help my laptop is a Sony with a 7600m gt. I had added some code to the .inf to enable display rotation, which was locked out by Sony so I wouldn't be surprised if it's something else that needs to be changed in the inf, but I haven't found anything yet.
Edit: Found info pointing to LCD EDID table recognizability by graphics driver as probably culprit. I'm using modded drivers since there are no official Win 7 drivers for geforce go 7 series. I'd rather not kill my Soyo 24" P-MVA so I won't attempt to flash the EDID unless someone else has experience with flashing monitors to accommodate modded Win 7 drivers for geforce go 7 series.
