    Mine Zx5000 came with 1900 X 1200, but everything is too small, how do I reduce it to 1680 X 1054, considering that in video properties I coudn't find this option! I need really help

    I don't think you have this option. If you had a WSXGA+ LCD, then this option would be there, but with a WUXGA LCD, you'll have the 1900x1200 and then all the other 4:3 resolutions with the occasional non-stardard res, I think they were 1152x864 & 1280x960.

    The only other way I know, is to increase your font sizes, but I think this also changes the fonts on websites.

    If the stock drivers don't do that, you can try the Omega drivers from www.omegadrivers.net or use the drivers from the ATI site after modding the INF file. Otherwise, no, these resolutions are not available to you.

    It's located at DriverHeaven.net and it's called the Mobility Modder, here's the link.

    Alternatively, go to display properties and select extra large fonts. Next, go to Advanced and increase the system font sizes. Many programs will let you change their default font sizes too. In Mozilla e.g. you can set very large default fonts for internet browsing by editing the two ini-like files in the Chrome folder (read online). But these fixes will make many programs appear strange and with scrambled text. SXGA swapping is the real cure...
