PAIN!! nvidia 7400 go on M1210

Hello everyone! long time no see!
Anyways my M1210 is being a pain in the butt with dual screen resolution. Once in a while i can get it to dual screen 1280x800x32(lappy) and 1600x1200x32 (external monitor). I even check with dxdiag but the majority of the time it wants to give me 1280x800x32 with a external resolution of 1600x1200x>>>16<<<!!
What i have tried:
-I tried sliding the power mizer setting it has no affect.
-I don't have that customize tab where i can set my own resolution i tried with different dell drivers already.
-using cool bits hoping to get the customize resolution tab no luck
any suggestions :] would be appreciate

quick question for other m1210 user: what's your battery wear at? you can use rmclock or nhc to find out but mines already at 50%

 

I dont have an answer to your question, I dont really understand it to be honest, nv twin view works fine for me in multi monitor setups, multi monitor gaming isnt really viable at all yet aside from flight simulators and stretched screens

on a side note, you are aware that your 1066 ram is "roaring" at 667, arent you?

 

His problem is the external monitor is running at 16 bit colour quality instead of 32-bit. I experienced the same thing with the NVS 110m (go7300) in my D620 with a Dell 2007WFP (1680x1050). I couldn't figure out how to get a consistent fix, sometimes it let me add back the proper resolution and colour quality as a custom setting, but mostly the Nvidia drivers would say it couldn't do it. The monitor wasn't mine so I didn't really spend too much effort into fixing it.

I believe I read somewhere that some of the Nvidia drivers have the custom resolution feature broken, so you might want to try different drivers over at laptopvideo2go. Note the non-mobile/oem drivers don't turn off the screen when the lid is closed.

 

I don't think he realized that, but it is kind of funny that you point it out...

 

on another side note, you are aware that I don't have ram with a 667 frequency? It's a dual channel 533MHz which conjoin into 1066MHz.
Thanks for noticing

 

I figure it out after a while of fooling around...
You have to set the Power mizir bar to a setting and then it will allow certain resolution. (A restart is require, btw i'm using nhc to control the nvidia power setting(
Example: At the lowest power mizir setting, it allows 1152x864x32 and anything above that goes to 16bit
At balance or medium setting, it allows 1440x900x32 -ditto-
At performance or high setting, it allows 1600x1200x32 -ditto. (I don't know if it will allow 1680x1050 because i don't have a widescreen monitor, but I'm pretty sure it will.

 

Ahhh thanks for figuring it out, that's a pretty crappy limitation.

 

thats not how it works, 533 ram is 533, in single or dual, same when quad hits the streets, dual channel gives you two "pools" of ram that the system can dip into at the same time, vs one pool in single channel, it does not double the operating speed
