SONY Viao 17 Inch Full Screen

Post by matt.buttsworth »

Hello Everyone

Problem same as Mick

I am trying to run an old Sony Viao with a 17 inch screen under full screen mode.
Any advice on command switches that work with a sony viao? Can suppply graphic card type later if that helps.
I like full screen.
All advice appreciated.

I couldn't get my Sony to work either.  INtegrated Graphics.  Native screen resolution is 1366x768 that cannot be used in widescreen.  I am wondering if that is my problem.  Will yours run on full screen?

Do not know what to do.

1366x768 won't work:
To have any effect x must be greater than 1024 and y must be greater than 768. If values less
than or equal to px=1024 and py=768 are used the original values of 1024 and 768 will be
substituted.
From the "What's New" PDF.

They changed that in a patch. It´s now possible to play in 1366x768, I am doing it on my laptop at the moment. But it doesn´t have integrated graphics, so I don´t know about that.
