    Hey guys, just a quick question that I am hoping to get solved.

    I got the 186.81 driver from Nvidia and am finding that it is working better for me than any of the drivers I have gotten from laptopvideo2go and whatnot. However, for some reason this driver does not show my laptop as having a 1440 x 900 resolution to choose from. It just skips from 1360 x 768 to 1600 x 900. I know that usually one can edit the nv_disp to custom add a resolution but this driver does not seem to come with one.

    I am running Win 7 x64 with the 9800m GT btw.
