    I can't seem to get my m1210 to do 1680x1050 on a Dell 2007WFP while keeping the m1210 at 1280x800. I have run the nVidia wizard several times and in several different modes but it will only show the wallpaper on the external.

    Will the card simply not support both of these formats at once or am I doing something wrong?

    Hmmm... 1680x1050 is a pretty low resolution that the M1210 should have no trouble supporting. What exactly are you seeing? Driver failure error? What isn't displaying properly? Are you doing Desktop clone or Extended Desktop?

    Thanks for the reply

    I'm just doubting that it can support both native resolutions at the same time in dualview mode. I will run the wizard and input the settings (each at native), but the external will be scaled down to 1280x1024.

    I'm thinking that having 1680x1050 on the 2007 with the m1210 screen off is the best I'm gonna do.
