Basically I want a full-width resolution for my 1680x1050 screens with a low-enough vertical height that I can use a 60Hz refresh rate. I've tried making a custom resolution of 5040x945 (3x16:9 equivalent) in the nVidia drivers, but it's a garbled mess. Would such a resolution require Matrox's intervention? 5040x1050x57=301,644,000 5040x945x60=285,768,000 So I assume it's not over the headroom of the TH2Go in theory. 1050 is a strange number anyhow...I thought the EDID only accepted numbers divisible by 8? |

1050 is a strange number? The resolution that gets multiplied by 3 is 168x1050. It's not Matrox's arbitrary decision, it's a manufacturer-standard widescreen resolution. You can't feed custom resolutions to the TripleHead2Go, as you've seen. 5040x945 would require Matrox's intervention. I doubt it would happen, either, as the entire point of 5040x1050 is to run three 20 or 22" widescreen monitors at their native resolution. |

I didn't mean to imply that 1050 was Matrox's doing, merely that 1050/8 isn't an integer...see here for what I'm getting at. Anyhow, I dropped them a note a few days back and they've gone quiet since asking which graphics card I have. I'll see if they ever get back to me on the subject. |
