660459 2008-04-20 00:16:00 I just got an ATI Radeon 9250 and had to download and install the driver for it because the CD that came in the box never worked (my computer just never recognized it).

Anyway, my monitors native resolution of 1650x1080 is not on the list of available resolutions. I had the same problem with the on board Intel driver and ended up having to edit a configuration file to make it available.

Will I have to do the same whit this? Can anybody lead me in the right way?

If it doesnt, I wouldnt edit any file. It could damage your system, or your card.

If you set the resolution too high, if the card doesnt support it

Is it typical for a video card to leave out useful resolutions?

660462 2008-04-20 01:00:00 Its probably because it doesnt support that resolution / go that high

You need a better card

I believe it is because it is widescreen.

660464 2008-04-20 05:06:00 ATI Radeon 9250??!!!! Man that thing isn't even as good as a modern day intel integrated graphics! You need a better card. Try buying a Geforce 7 series card if you are still on agp, or an low end 8 series if you have PCI-e. Make sure your PSU can handle it. The ATi equivelent of a GeForce 7 series card is an X1*** card. Recommend nvidia though. SPARTAN 860 (2618)
660465 2008-04-20 10:47:00 Nothing wrong with the card, older card support that resolution. What does the device manager say for the LCD, do you have the inf file for the monitor. Once the system know what resolutions are supported by the LCD, it will enable the WS settings.....well, it should do!

Oh, maybe not....

660466 2008-04-20 13:07:00 16:9 aspect ratio monitors are supported on 1920x1080 and 848x480 on Microsoft® Windows® XP, Microsoft® Windows® 2000 and Microsoft® Windows® Me. The complete list of resolutions depends on the driver version and operating system. NOTE: resolutions are limited by the performance of the attached monitor. DVI-I monitors will be limited to 1600x1200.
(From that spec page).
You need a better card if you have a DVI-I monitor input, try a VGA cable if you have the option ;)
