maybe I'm doing something wrong here..

if it can do 1280x1024 why not 1600x1200? single monitor

Weird...I hadn't noticed it doesn't support any single-screen 4:3 resolutions, but it does support 2x1600x1200 :?

By default the GXM does not display single-screen resolutions. To get it to do so, do this:


1. Open C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataMatrox Graphics IncPowerDeskSEGXM2Gxm2.ini

2. Edit the following line:
ShowSingleModes_4_3=true

3. Restart PowerDesk


Matrox told me this a while back. See if it allows 1600x1200 for you. If not, I have some more ideas. I am trying to get 1280x960 @ 85 Hz, personally, and I've been unable to do so.

tried that and it single 4:3 display mode listing still won't show up :(

any other ideas?

but I AM ABLE to use single 1600x1200 display on my windows desktop

when I set in my video card setting "enable unsupported modes"


but that is only good for desktop games don't detect that resolution

It is able to do it. I am using it in 1600*1200 and have 2 other monitors in 1600*1200 connected to the second video card. Its truth, that you have to fool around to make it use that resolution.

if it can do 1280x1024 why not 1600x1200? single monitor

I have two 1280x1024 and a 1600x1200. Using the last version of the PowerDesk software I can switch quickly from 1600x1200 to 3840x1024.

Just setup the proper configuration in Windows and then save it using PowerDesk "Edit Mode List..." button.
