I recently bought a compaq sr1520nx from compusa with a salmon K8S-LA
motherboard with SiS 760 chip.
The default installation does not allow display resolution any higher than
1024x768. However, if I re-install winXP, then download the SiS 760 driver
from microsoft's windows update, then I can set the resolution higher.
However, this is not a satisfactory solution, because the microsoft driver
is a bare bone driver and does not come with SiS utilities to change gamma,
which is something I also want to do.
If I download the full set of SiS utilities for this video board from hp,
then after installing them I cannot change the resolution to higher than
1024x768 again. Actually, the change resolution slider would let me do it,
but the result is a virtual desktop scrollable in a 1024x768 resolution
screen.
Has anyone figured out how to change resolution to higher than 1024x768 and
also be able to set the gamma on this chipset? Virtual desktop is usually a
more advance feature than simply changing the screen resolution. Why is this
feature available, but not the more straight forward feature of changing
resolution to higher than 1024x768?
SiS does not provide tech support directly. HP's tech support offered little
help, and I have tried everything I can think of. Changing the type of
monitor does not help.
