So, got my lilli 701 working on 800x480 and that damned auto adjusting button won't "f" it up anymore!

I hooked up a crt (so I could mess with settings without it going black) and fished around a bit with nvidia's config screens. I clicked "hide modes this monitor cannot display".

The only mode left was 800x480 at 75 hz.

I added a custom resolution at these settings in the nvidia config panel and..........

Success!

The only strange thing is that the Lilli OSD says it's 640x480, but everything displays as 800x480. Weird. Also, 960x800 came up as 800x600 on the osd. Weird-er.

Now I can hit that annoying little auto adjust button all I want and all it does is center the display as it's supposed to without giving the monitor an aneurysm.

I think what happens is when the monitor tries to "auto adjust" on a resolution off even a bit from what it wants, it says "I don't know what to do with this" and just sets "out of range" and a black screen. Basically, it says "I don't know what you want, do it yourself".

Get the settings right and it says "ok, I know this" and does the centering like it's supposed too.

That's it in laymans terms.

Not saying it will work for everyone, but it does for me.

Good luck all.
