Can 1600 x 1024 be added as a default common mode?

This is usually monitor-dependent. Second, Apple doesn't obey standards, this is why they're all proprietary. I've never seen 1600x1024 supported by VESA. It's either 1600x1200 or 1680x1050.

Here's a reference list for you: http://www.nobell.org/~gjm/pc/aspect.html

Like, this adapter I have works at 1366x768 on one TV over HDMI, but on another, that resolution isn't available. If your display device isn't showing that VESA standard resolution to the DisplayLink chip in the adapter, no Operation System will know.

Although, it could be the DisplayLink drivers as well :P. I saw the other posts, just giving you a reference.

Thanks for the input Saturn
These displays are made by Silicon Graphics and have always - as in every single time - worked with every version of Windows from XP onwards when connected to the PC's DVI connector

So DisplayLink - How is Windows managing to display 1600 x 1024?

This is a real question

How does Windows do it?

Especially with a variety of Video cards from NVidia, ATi, Intel and AMD

It may help fix it for DisplayLink

If Windows can show this resolution of 1600 x 1024 (and other resolutions that are being requested by other members of this forum), what is stopping Dsiplaylink from doing the same?

Is there anything we can do to help achieve this?
