Thread: Received my lilliput from the ebay guy !!!!

Right this is gonna be a biggie

To set up custom resolutions using Powerstrip 3.37

1) Install it
2) From the tasktray select it, select "display profiles" and then "Configure"

3) On the right you will see a section for Refresh Rate. Under this is hopefully A buttom labeled Advanced Timing Options. If so proceed if not then your Video Card don't support them

4) Click on Advanced Timings Options and then on custom resolutions button.

5) Under there you will find resolutions for 800x480p [LCD] and 1280x768p [LCD]. Add them following the onscreen instructions. If it says to reboot do so but only after adding all the ones you wish to try.

6) You should hopefully have two new resolutions in your windows display slider bar and hence can be selected without the need for PowerStrip to even be running

7) Select one which should hopefully display an image on the lilliput and then hit the < button to auto focus the Lilliput screen. You might be lucky and they look spot on and crystal clear. However if not then here are the timings for each resolution (from powerstrip custom timings screen) that seem to work for me. The last two I have not got right yet.

I have comma separated them and put them into three lines for each res.
1st line Resolution and Approx refresh rate
2nd line Horizontal settings: Scan rate, Active, front porch, Sync Width, Back Porch, Total, Hsync
3rd line Vertical settings: Vsync, Refresh Rate, Active, Front Porch, Sync width, Back Porch, total

Those of you who are observant may notice that the last one is most of the horizontal settings from 800x600@60hz and most of the vertical settings from 640x480@60hz. This should give perfect a image but it doesn't. Any techies out there know why

Right been doing some more fiddling and found that this seemed to give a better picture

848x480@76hz
37.872,848,19,88,101,1056,-
+,76.201,480,1,3,13,497

No idea why seeing as thats not the native res of the panel.

Can anyone else try the 800x480 and 848x480 res out and see which one works best for them.

At least this way we can build up a list of correctly formatted resolutions as these two are nigh on the right 16:9 ratio

I told earlier in several posts, that 848x480 gives best picture, I dont know why, but it has no waves, no blur, nothing.. but it is a bit contracted (on 48 pixels ;-)))... , so probably 800 is the native horiz. pixel number, I'll try tomorrow to get 800x480.

Regarding M10K Onboard video (CLE266) - no way you can do any non-standard resolution on it, nor on XP nor on Linux, nor on nothing!! This is VIA's bad support..
Hardware actually supports 848x480, but no driver can do that.

I was strugling with that for a while, but gave up, even wanted to sell EPIA and get some mATX with reguar AGP and GeForce2 on it -- GeForce2 on my home PC, on AGP, worked perfectly gave any res I wanted. But fortunatelly I found in my colleague's PC PCI GeForce Video Card, and it works same as GF2 on my Home PC.
I sacrified a PCI TV/FM Tuner though, coz there is only one PCI slot on M10K, but I'll get USB TV/FM.
