- Well, "the same stuff" is WRONG. I've installed my XGA-2 about a month
- ago and had the same problem, but I found the solution by accident.
-
- If you've already installed the SP when you install the XGA-2 card,
- reinstall the display drivers. Some of the MONxxxx.DGS in the
- XGA$DMQS directory are different, allowing 1280x1024 50 Hz. Just
- reinstall the display drivers from the Service Pack and DIFINST will
- give you this option:
-
- 16" 325x244mm 50Hz 1280x1024; 75, 44Hz 1024x768; 60, 75Hz 800x600;
- 75Hz 640x480
-
- Just choose this and reboot - voila there it is. Just make damn sure
- that your monitor is up to this, otherwise you might damage it...
-
- If you have problems, just email me, since I've already been through
- the stuff...
-
- Enjoy,
