HD5850 / syncmaster VGA full resolution

[Machinae]

Hi im using a dual screen setup with a Dell and a syncmaster 2443nw (both 24" running at 1920*1200).
This setup used to work with my old GT8800 card but I just got a new HD5850 card and for some reason my syncmaster refuse to go higher than 1600*1200 (og 1080i / 30hz).

Any clues as to what i can do to fix this ?

thx!

that is because the highest the monitor can go is 1680x1050

My screen is the 2443nw - and it used to run fine in 1920*1200 before - trust me i know - powerstrip also verifies that my screens max resolution is 1920*1200 /66hz - but i cannot set the resolution for some annoying reason.

oh ok then

what cable are you using?

It's Vga through a dvi converter.

try running both

using the 5850 and the 8800 for the two monitors

eh no thx - i just want to know if theres some way i can brute-force a resolution using either powerstrip, write in the reg edit or some other method if available.

thx!
