how come my games can't detect single monitor 1920x1200

just wondering..

under the GXM I already add the single screen resolution to available list
1920x1200 and 1920x1080

but when I run games and choose the display resolution 1920 resolutions doesn't show up. the higest I see is 1440x900

4320x900 and 5040x1050 shows up even tho I don't see it under the mode lists in GXM.

I just to be able to use 1920x1200 in games that don't support Th2g or the super wide display fully.

From what we have seen it works in vista but not xp. Can you set 1920x1200 on the desktop res, right click on desktop, properties, etc...? If not then it won't work with the games AFAIK

I can get 1920x1200 with windows desktop fine though.

For me it shows up in display properties and the edit mode list but just doesn't work if I try to use it ... stays in 5040x1050.
It doesn't show in games.

Matrox are aware of my problem and so far no fix ...

As M1.9p says ... contact Matrox
