Re: damn monitor resolutions in OSX
OK I feel like a klutz but I've fixed this thanks to the suggestions from the list.. The "Show modes recommended by display" did work the reason I didn't try it in the first place was that I looked at it and went "OK thats on the control panel for the main screen (built in) but there isn't one on the second (external) monitors control panel failed to apply the first rule my first programing lecturer told me "suck it and see" Off Toppic . got to laugh - Eudora shows "suck it" as a double chilli warning. -- ~ Mark Secker [EMAIL PROTECTED] 9380 2308 (GSE) 9380 1855 (ECEL) ECEL Computer Support Officer, University of Western Australia.

What happens if you uncheck "Show modes recommended by display" in the
Displays System Preferences?

damn monitor resolutions in OSX
One truly annoying thing I've noticed with my new PowerBook and have
had a couple of staff members coment on theirs as well.
Under OSX the resolutions supported for external monitors by OSX is
greatly reduced. For example a 21" Apple (Sony) display only shows
support for 800 by 600 resolution reboot to OS 9 and it will let
me go all the way up to around 1200 by 860 ('ish)
anybody know a work around?
