Resolution problem
Ok so i have a mobility radeon 9000 in my ibm laptop...all specs say
that my screen resolution should be up to like 1400x1050, but i can only switch it up to 1024x768 and im really tired of it...ive tried installing modded drivers and still could not get a larger resolution? does anyone have a solution to my resolution problem? thanks |

Resolution problem
* dman1129:
Ok so i have a mobility radeon 9000 in my ibm laptop Since IBM made more than one laptop it would be helpful to post the model (i.e. T41p) and the exact model no (i.e. 2176-447). ...all specs say that my screen resolution should be up to like 1400x1050 Which spec? Are you aware that the same model (i.e. T40) is sold with different displays which have different resolutions? It's possible that the "spec" you read says that your notebook model is available with displays up to 1400x1050 and not that _your_ specific notebook does 1400x1050... , but i can only switch it up to 1024x768 and im really tired of it...ive tried installing modded drivers and still could not get a larger resolution? does anyone have a solution to my resolution problem? Either a defect or your display doesn't support more than 1024x768. Hard to say with that sparse informations... Benjamin |

Resolution problem
Well its an R51 and on the bottom it says its an 1830-DD2 model, but system diagnostics repoort it as 1836-BCU... either way, both online say it should have the higher resolution... |

You could try changing the monitor device to a generic one, as the .inf file that is loaded by XP now probably contains a maximum resolution value. Fiddling with this you ought to be able to get a large range or resolutions available to you in display properties, you can creep the slider along and try them. 1400 x 1050 is a 16:9 type of resolution and you may not want to go that high? 1280 x 1024 perhaps? It may not work though, 14/15 inch LCD screens tend to run at 1024 x 768. As the Benjamin said, look at the specs?? You will only get a really sharp image at the intended native res of the display and usually can go only smaller. AFAIK if you go to a higher resolution than native, the thing goes blank. --- avast!

The ID on the case label and in the mainboard should be identical. either way, both online say it should have the higher resolution... Indeed, as the spec and download site confirms: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/quickPath.do?quickPathEntry=1830DD2 http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/quickPath.do?quickPathEntry=1836BCU Try to completely(!) remove your old drivers and all the modifications you did and install the latest IBM/Lenovo drivers from one of the links above. Have you installed the monitor inf file (often wrongly called "monitor driver") for this display? Benjamin |
