Samsung 226BW issues
Again. I just did a fresh install of windows so I could install CCC again. I've got it installed, and after a lot of messing around to circumvent samsung's crap-ass EDID for m 226BW I got it to allow me to get it into 1680x1050 (native). BUT - only @ 30hz
I'm at 1440x900 @60hz, but it only lets me select 29 or 30hz for 1680x1050. any ideas?

Are both the monitor and graphics card drivers properly installed? Are you using Windows or CCC to change the resolution? Try using the other one.
I'll procrastinate tomorrow.
Re: Samsung 226BW issues
I tried both. I went to advanced display options and unchecked "hide modes this monitor cannot display" and that brought up 1680x1050 in CCC but not in windows. But when I select it in CCC it switched to 30hz and won't let me select 60hz.
The only thing I haven't tried is an older version of CCC

Re: Samsung 226BW issues
yep, did that, tried using an older version of CCC, tried just the driver itself with no CCC
I've got a dvi cable on the way, I've heard using the vga can cause problems sometimes

Re: Samsung 226BW issues

Re: Samsung 226BW issues
Yeah, my guess would be it's getting confused about the VGA connection. DVI is better to use just on general principles anyway.

Re: Samsung 226BW issues
Have you tried the driver links I posted in the other thread yet? Once I found the right driver I didn't have any more issues. There's two different drivers, one for analog and one for digital; you just have to find the right one. Took me a while the first time to find it as its buried somewhere in the interwebs.
