Hi all. I have recently purchased a 17" widescreen monitor for my pc, with the intention of hooking up my 12" powerbook when I use it at home. The problem I am having is getting the mac to output in the correct resolution for the 17 " monitor.The powerbook gives me the resolutions to choose from ( the monitor is 1280*769)but when I choose this, it stretches the images on the extra monitor. If I use the extra monitor as extended workspace, it stretches the images accross the screen also. If I use it in video mirror mode, I get a black bar either side of the screen on the monitor. Is it possible to get my powerbook to output in the correct resolution for the monitor without using it as extended workspace?
I want to bacically use the bigger screen to look at, but use the rest of the powerbook ie keyboard and mouse, but I cant get everything looking right.Any help much appreciated.
thanks, bez
