how to add custom resolution and refresh rate

[Rezzie]

800x600 to small, while 1024x768 to big for me
i want to use 960x720 resolution and at least 75 hz refresh rate...

back when using nvidia geforce4 mx i can add that custom resolution
(and refresh rate) by using configuration tool provided by the driver
(via "display properties"), or utility like rivatuner

but now i am using ati radeon 9550...

well, actually to get 960x720 is an easy task, the simplest is to
use a "plug and play monitor" driver from windows xp and select that
resolution (my samsung 17" monitor driver does not provide that
resolution), but the problem is that i only can use just _60hz_ refresh
rate

i have tried some utility to force the refresh rate, one utility that
peoples usually suggest to do this is powerstrip. yes, it can force
refresh rate as the "tip of the day" says, but the problem again is
the dialog button to do this is _inactive_ (what thats mean?)

somebody please help me...








sorry for my bad english...

I kinda had a problem with that too, i first used the refreshrate fix on Ati-Tool, but since it fucked it up everytime i looked for something diff.. Theres something called RefreshFix ver. 0.9.9.7. Unlike Ati-Tool i found that this tool does work! here you can find it: RefreshFix

Grtz. Rule-R

isn't that tool only to fix 60hz problem on fullscreen d3d/ogl apps...?

with that tool, can i use refresh rate higher than 60z for desktop?

take omega driver and then make your thing

Yes, it is for those 3d things. but the answer to his real question was to simple: go to advanced setings when ya right click. If that doesnt work either, i wouldnt know how to do it.
Btw: i recommend you keep the sizes either 640x480/800x600/1024x768, otherwise it wil look funny!

if i can change it from start/settings/control panel/display/settings/advanced/[adapter|monitor] then i wouldn't ask here

960x720 doesn't look funny thats still 4:3 aspect ratio...
