Getting 1366x768 with GA-MA78GM-S2H on Philips 32PF5331 (1 Viewer)

[doornjoostje]

I've bought the new GA-MA78GM-S2H motherboard.
This has integrated ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card.

My Philips 32PF5331 has native WXGA screen 1366x768.

With my previous system contained nvidia 6600 GT.
With the nvidia driver you where able to create custom resolutions.
I've got 1:1 pixelmapping and superb picture quality.

I've downloaded the latest ati catalyst 8.5 drivers.
But I'm not able.

Also tried powerstrip, but can't get a clear picture.

Anyone has any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

I've founds out there are tweaked drivers, omega catalyst drivers: OmegaDrivers.net - Home of the ATI & NVIDIA Omega Drivers. Home
Some more info: Omega drivers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, created by Angel Trinidad.

These are the standard drivers, with additions. 1 of those is 1366x768 resolution.
The only pity is, that these drivers are created on a regular basis.

The last one is from 01-Jan-08, based on catalyst driver 7.9.
My HD 3200 card is from >= 8.1

So lets hope there will be a omega driver in the near future again.

You can also try to search for DNA drivers. They also develop extended drivers for ATI cards.
I have the exact same motherboard, just running it at 1920x1080 on my Zepto Zview 37". Great board.

DNA based on 8.3 has WIP (work in progress), so lets hope it will be arriving shortly.
Full HD resolution is perfect, is your TV is full HD.

Mine is not full hd, but HD ready, in that case you need 133x768 to have the best result.

The problem with the 1360 / 1366 x 768 is in most cases the bad EDID Data which the LCD or the AV-Receiver (if it is between PC and TV) reports to Windows.

I've found a workaround here which may solve this in other cases, too. Maybe someone wan't to give it a try.

See the end of that topic for reg patch without reinstalling drivers.

Yes mine is full HD, so I haven't got the same problem. Let's hope that Flapper's suggestion or DNA / Omega drivers can solve your problem.

for the suggestion, but i read this on the site: "Strangely missing are the 136x by 76x resolutions".
And if you fck up the EDID settings, you have serious problems.
