Noob: On board video.

[sirsaechao]

At work I've been using a crappy CRT. They recently bought us some widescreen Viewsonics. Now I want to get 1440 X 900 and I can't. I can only do 1280 X 768. What do I need to do?

It could also be limited by your LCD, I would suggest you change your video card

yeah but his is widescreen, is yours?

I suggest getting a video card that offers support for that resolution, your onboard is probably too old to do you any good.

agreed, i think my old rig, with a celeron in it could only do 800x600, and it had onboard
