Thanks Bruce and others for the posts on the mirroring resoution
thing.
I did see your post and installed the patch.
It helps but the 1680 x 1050 gives me the iBook size screen on the
AOC. Very nice sharp image but sort of defeats the purpose of having a
22" monitor. I played around and find that 1024 x 768 seems like the
best option to fill the screen (same as my Dell setting) but still
some horizontal distortion.
Now I'm wondering at the difference between an "extended desktop" and
a mirrored one. I tried "turning off Mirroring" but the external
monitor just went black.
BTW Bill C, I played with the Hz settings and couldn't determin how
much an effect it makes, but the AOC manual warned about too high Hz
so I settled for the 60 Hz option
Thanks
Cliff
