Boy, I hate this new driver update... I cannot roll back that driver - it just means I will also have to work around it. I have a 17"... now the bladdy thing is squashing up horizontally on 1280x1024, making text barely readable. Now I am using 1024x800 - whoa,
that looks huge. I want a 1152x768 but how can I get that on Windows XP? I had that option on Windows 2003, 2002 and maybe 98... But I set my eyes on something else now... custom resolutions. I managed to get a 1280x900 and it looks perfect... but that is
the sacrifice of Direct3D then with that solution. How would one make their resolution of the desktop to be any dimension they want? Frustrating looking at this big garbage }:) !!!
If you have not noticed, your screen is your workshop, desk or whatever you may call it to "normal" life. You will always try to make the best out of your workspace... I work with ASP.NET - I am just trying to make the best out of it. And if you still insist
that this is off topic to .NET, take a look at the title of the forum - "Free4All"!
drastic solution, buying a new monitor just cause you can't get a mode on it. may not work, but, you can unselect 'show only modes my configuration supports' and get all possible modes. sometimes, and I've seen this happen, you can happily run a mode which
your config denies support for. weird eh? not saying this'll work on everything, maybe a driver change, or a masquerade of your monitor as something it's not might help. I've messed around with My GeForce MX and Sony 21" and found modes I never knew existed
RTFM - straight talk for web developers. Unmoderated, uncensored, occasionally unreadable
Not really... I had an optimal resolution but the monitor's age caught up. Besides a certain mode, it has been some time since my refresh rate has been higher than 60Hz. I am just interested where you found this 'show only modes my configuration supports'.
I could not find it... is it exclusive to GeForce MX? I have a S3 ProSavageDDR.
@master4java: ::I sorted out my problems. I just brought a new monitor... there goes my ::budget allocation for Whidbey Stupid question: just how broke are you? Whidbey is a year in the future (2nd half 2004 - I would somehow bet this means 4th quarter). Buying
a monitor NOW should not have ANY impact on your budget allocation for Whidbey a year in the future.
Is this a direct insult. Yes, Whidbey is a long time away but to buy it, I have start saving now. That is close to R5000 (an estimate of price for upgrade of professional - just in case the exchange gets a bad rate by then). Regarding that I already had R700
to spend on anything when I started saving for Whidbey, I put it towards with other Whidbey money (R400). That means I had R1000 before buying the monitor. If Whidbey comes out in the 2nd quarter, and me calculating my cash flow, I could get it in the early
3rd quarter. A 17" monitor of good quality costs ~R950. In fact, why should I discuss my financial status? I have something a lot richer than what you will ever have - a high standard of proffession compared to you (that counts maturity, respect for others
[which you ought to have if you are an MVP] and dignity).
::Is this a direct insult. No. ::If Whidbey comes out in the 2nd quarter Just Whidbey will NOT come out in the 2nd QUARTER. It will come out in the 2nd HALF. Which means 3rd, possibly 4th Quarter. Given a Beta in 1st Half and half a year before release, chances
are extreme you wont see anything before October/November next year. Even if the Beta comes out in March (which would put it into the middle of the first half whee it is announced) you would talk about a September release at best. ::In fact, why should I discuss
my financial status? Good question. Ask yourself: why DID you discuss it? You made the comment, not me. If came here and said that baying a monitor now (which basically is something most of the people here would not actually notice at all) kills your budget
for Whidbey. ::I have something a lot richer than what you will ever have - a high standard of proffession ::compared to you (that counts maturity, respect for others [which you ought to have if you ::are an MVP] and dignity). Your "high standard of confession"
seems not to include the ability to read and understand what MS means when they say "2nd Half". In this case I am really happy I have, instead, the ability to read and understand product announcements and the logic to know what 2nd Half means given how software
development works and how hugh the task is that MS faces.
:: Good question. Ask yourself: why DID you discuss it? I am surprised that someone has not shoved a keyboard up your ass because of those CAPS. I only made a comment about what position it places me in relative. If you do your maths, you will find that
I still have ample of time before July to get my budget up again - it is not like I am dedicating all my money to Whidbey; merely, I am
budgeting*. * - Take not that I strongly recomend that you understand the meaning of "budget". It is best advised that you consult the English dictionary.:: chances are extreme you wont see anything before October/November next year I am sure that I read that they wanted to release Whidbey in Spring (northern hemisphere). I found that somewhere over here, on this site... but I could be thinking of something
else. I would look for it but :: MS means when they say "2nd Half". You are not Microsoft are you? I do not think so... not in a million years. BTW, I think you should look up the meaning "professional". It is one thing knowing what its definition is
but it is another thing understanding the meaning.
