eeepc @ 1024x768

[Guest J273]

As anyone seen this?

Its a modded display driver for the eee which allows you to run it at 1024 x768 :)

I don't think it is modded, my computer does that too if i set the resolution too high.

With the standard asus XP driver(came on the support DVD) you can only select 800x480 or 800x600. What driver are you running?

The dude who runs EEEuser.com seems to think this works too. :)

If you don't mind scrolling around the screen a la ASUS's own 800x600 you can use anything you like.

Just go to Display Properties / Settings / Advanced / Monitor and uncheck "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display"

You can then use anything that the graphics card supports, but in pan mode.

Apologies if this is already known :)

Ahh,ok. That makes sense. I think the driver at the top of this thread allows you to get higher res without the panning which is a big difference.

Not sure about lcd's but with crt's you can actually damage the monitor by displaying resolutions it wasn't designed for. If it turns out that it is a stable driver and no one's lcd dies from displaying the higher res I'll give it a go. In the meantime I am willing to live with the standard driver and let others be the proverbial guinnea pig.

I don't think you can damage a LCD panel through the use of odd resolutions, however non-native ones will look grainy as hell :s
