Okay, I was used to able to add 1280x800 on the same 7900GT machine.
However, I installed new 91.47 driver, and I can't add custom resolution anymore!!
I tried 1280x960, 1152x864.. nope.. it's always "This custom resolution cannot be added".
Then I went ahead and tried other driver including 91.48, XG 91.92 and even back down to 84.56, and I still can't!!
1920x1200 made things too small to see on the 2405fpw.

Please help me to get 1280x800 on the screen (w/o using powerstrip because it doesn't work). Thanks!!

The new CP needs "Advanced" view enabled to see its custom resolution section.

In either case, adding a resolution may require expanding the options and choosing a value for placement (display adapter, centered, &c.).

I found it pretty queer that 1280x960, for one, needs to be added manually.

I turned to Advance view, but still can't seems to find it.
