Screen resolution problem on a laptop
4 replies
padre31Luxury BoxOPI just purchased a Gateway M680 with a 17 inch monitor off of ebay everything works fine except for the prior owner had it setup to run on dual monitors.
The driver is a Radeon Multiple Monitor rx700.
To cover the fact that the laptop monitor was supposed to be dual pane, they jacked up the resolution to 1700+ pixels which makes every webpage tiny, and causes youtube videos to play in two halves with a top and bottom moving in different directions.
Need a new driver on this puppy or ???
anlgpNew Memberdid you try going into the control panel for the resolution and clicking "default settings"
"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl

Just rechecked, there is no default setting on the resolution panel, just:
1 in the foreground and 2 in the background.
And identify..troubleshoot...let me recheck the advanced tab

in display setting you should be able to disable that second monitor which is the #2 you see
after that you should be able to set the resolution for your #1

You'd think the problem is the display driver itself is meant for a dual monitor setup,
