800x480 RR resolution -- can it work ?

**djtaz** · 11-12-2007, 04:52 AM

I tried setting it to 800x480 and i cant see a lot of the screen still - my windows behind is set to 640x480 and it displays fine, so i decided to try to set RR to 640x480 but same thing - i can only see as far as the volume buttons and dont have any minimise or exit options.

Im going to try one more thing when i finish work and ill let u know what happens.

I have the same monitor and the native is 800x600. The manual says 800x480 but it's wrong. If you set that resolution you'll be missing the bottom and top parts of the screen.

I tried setting it to 800x600 and the screen refused to turn on - it works once i reduce it below 800x600 but not at or above that.

I set mine to 800x480 and it was all short and screwy but then I hit the left arrow button and it re-adjusted and it's fine now. Really weird. It won't do that in any other other modes, now I don't think I can get it back to 800x600. I can do 1024x768 though, but its not proportioned quite right.

I may be way off base here since I have only owned a Xenarc. With the Xenarc, the natice resolution is also 800X480. I tried setting a bunch of resolutions on Windows...all had problems. This was until I had it set to 800X600 and tried changing the refresh rate. If it's set at 75Hz, the display works perfectly. Anything else and parts of the display get cut off.

Good information! I was trying to fix this problem (only part of screen showing up) for my Xenarc 700IDT

I got this working on 720x480x32 true colour - the screen works on this.
I wasnt able to use the standard drivers and i had to use other ones.
I just tried the one here :
http://moschini.org/ALL-LVDS-VGA-800x480-Xenarc.zip which was posted bu Guiliano on post no 29 (Thanks G) on my 855 chipset with my lilliput screen and though it didnt work with 800x480 , it did work with 720x480 which was enough for me. - i then set my rr.ini file to reflect this , and then set the general.ini in my skin to default 800x600 and display to 720x480
