Hi everybody.



My problem is the next:



I have an iMac 17" Core2Duo with Ati X1600. I want to use my Samsung 27" as an extended display. I hooked up with miniDVI-VGA connector. The OSX works but it is strange a little bit. Because my Samsung LCD native resolution is 1360x768. But i didn't find this res. on the osx display panel. But when i'am try the 1280x768 my LCD switch to 1360x768 so it is strange but works like a charm.

My really problem is the following:

I installed an WindowsXP SP2 Hungarian lokalized version because i'am Hungarian.

I installed the Bootcamp 1.3 drivers. but my secondary monitor(Samsung LCD) resolution is didn't correct. It means if i switch my sec. monitor resolution to 1360x768 i got black screen and the lcd sasy not supported resolution. But it's her resolution. I have no idea what is the problem. I put up the Catalyst Control Center but won't help. The only last resolution what work is 1152x856.But is not her native res. Please somebody help me.Please. I want to play 720p HD movie on xp because VLC didn't support DTS correctly with MKV.

Please help me.



p.s

Sorry for my pour english. I'am Hungarian so my english is bad. Sorry.

    utomi,



    when you say that you are switching your secondary monitor resolution to 1360x768 are you using the properties dialog box that pops up when you right click on the windows desktop?



    I have two identical monitors on my XP machine and I can set them at different resolutions using the properties dialog box. I don't know about your resolution though as both of mine max out 1600x1200.
