    Default Parhelia...getting 1280x960 resolution?

    I was a bit dismayed when I just realized my new Parhelia doesn't support 1280x960 yet.

    I posted in the tech support forums, and it's in the "wish list" (should have been in here since the start!)

    Anyway, does anyone know any way, via registry hacks or whatnot, to change the resolution to 1280x960?

    Extract the driver to a folder and edit the mtxparh setup file like this:

    In the [AddReg.Modes] section, un comment the last line, which is the
    1280x960 line. Then move it up just before the res 1280x1024. It should
    look like so:

    [AddReg.Modes]
    HKR,,Mga.PixelWidths,0x00000001,08,10,20
    HKR,,Mga.SingleResolutions,0x00000001,\

    %R__320x_240%,%R__320x_240a%,%R__320x_240b%,%R__32
    0x_240c%,\

    %R_1600x1200%,%R_1600x1200a%,%R_1600x1200b%,%R_160
    0x1200c%,\
    %R_1920x1080%,%R_1920x1080a%,%R_1920x1080b%,%R_192
    0x1080c%,\
    %R_1920x1200%,%R_1920x1200a%,%R_1920x1200b%,%R_192
    0x1200c%,\
    %R_1920x1440%,%R_1920x1440a%,%R_1920x1440b%,%R_192

    8x1536c%


    Then goto [AddReg.VidParms] and uncomment the last 3 lines. Last 3 lines
    should look like so:

    HKR,,Graphic.1280.960,0x00000001,\
    3c,00,3c,00,e0,a5,01,00,60,00,70,00,38,01,01,00,03

    \
    55,00,56,00,10,44,02,00,40,00,a0,00,e0,00,01,00,03
    ,00,2f,00,00,00,00,00

    Save and install.

    Wow, thanks!

    Can't believe it's all set up in there, just not unlocked...I wonder why just this resolution is locked...
