Kx2000 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 I've a Dell inspiron 8200 with SXGA+ 15" LCD screen on a quadro4 700Go GL and I need a driver for my video card who can reach my maximum resolution of 1400*1050 without upper resolutions. Thanks to solve my problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattman Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Check out Bill's thread - here He also runs a Dell 8200 with same GPU so should be able to help with any queries. He has also linked tried and tested drivers so check those out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Don't point ppl to spam my thread lol. Anyway as to your question, what exactly is your problem? Will it not display your screen correctly? Does it not have 1400x1050 but it has 1600x1200? What driver are you using and what driver(s) has/have worked for you? I am currently on the 82.10 driver with a custom Dell INF actually. http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/index.php?showtopic=6972 Using the 82.10 driver with his latest mod INF is great, with Dell settings it might fix your problem, otherwise you will probably need an EDID screen fix. Which brings us to this: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/enhancer Teraphy has included the fix, so I would actually recomend you go to that page, select the 1400x1050 Dell display fix, then select the 81.98 driver and have it spit an INF out for you. This INF will have the fix included, just use it instead of Pieter's regular moddified INF. Edit: I just decided my recommendation thread is perfect for support, I'm going for the longest forum thread now. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattman Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I was trying to imply he should just download your reccommended drivers/inf :) Obviously that bit didn't click... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Nope, not with that screen problem he most likely needs a special INF tweak or EDID fix for it to work right. You do know what an EDID is right? You weren't here back in the day but go research all the Dell/Toshiba screen issues. You should be up to par on this stuff matt. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattman Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Nope... I'm only new to all this :) I think i'm ok on current stuff but anything old is beyond me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSudlow Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Pieter includes a fix for this in his inf. Search for "ModesetBlankDelay" and remove the semicolon from the front of the line to enable it. Reinstall and you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kx2000 Posted January 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 All is working fine now. Thank you very very much. I'm with this problem from 6 month ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
