OK, I finally upgrade from 19" CRTs to 22"-widescreen LCDs, but now I
can't get my Paris machine to recognize the monitor. The machine is a
1GHz Pentium III box with a Chaintech Nvidia Geforce FX5200 video
card. I am driving an Hitachi 19" CRT off the analog port of the card
and my new Acer 2216 monitor off the digital port. I have d/l'ed the
latest Nvidia drivers that claim to allow me to specify manually the
1680x1050x60ns resolution of the monitor, but whenever I do this, I
get a popup claiming that setting cannot be supported.
I can get things to work at 1600x900 (actually the Nvidia driver then
resets the 900 to 896!) but when I try to do anything after that, the
Acer blinks off/on for the rest of the session...
....so, can anyone suggest a video card for me? I think I am basically
screwed here, because I need:
1. AGP
2. WinME
3. WSXGA+ (i.e. 1680x1050x60s)
Looks like 2 + 3 = 0 here!

p.s. Upgrading the Paris machine to a newer, WinXP one is not an
option.
