- You are going to have to take the chips back, or buy a new monitor. There
- is not software fix for this since this is a result of the hardware design
- (the monitor physically cant scan fast enough to go to the higher
- resolutions).
-
- Non-autosyncing monitors like yours usually have pretty cruddy dot pitch
- ratings (usually .39 or worse) anyway, so higher resolutions would be
- VERY fuzzy anyway.
