Satellite A - Wrong screen resolution in games

Hi,
I change the operation system from Windows Vista home to Windows 7 64bit , and I download the Windows driver but when I playing games it appear at 1024*768 pixel and my laptop have 1366*768 pixel.
If any body have a solution to this problem please help

Hello
Unfortunately I think you must offer more details about your problem like exact notebook model number and all games that you play.
Important point is that the game must support the native screen resolution of your monitor, otherwise you are not able to use 1366*768 pixel. You should check this firstly!
Furthermore make sure that newest display driver from Toshiba is installed and update your DirectX version.

Re: Satellite L30D - Low screen resolution after Windows 7 installation

I have installed Windows 7 on my Satellite L30D. Since this installation, I cannot have a better resolkuton than 1024x768.*It was much better with Windows Vista.
I have downloaded the latest ATI driver. No effect. I cannot find the Catalyst Control Center as well. What can I do?

Hi
The Satellite L30D isnt known to me...
Do you mean Satellite L30 or Satellite L300D?
Normally you have to install the display driver if you want to use higher screen resolutions but check the specifications of your internal display first. Maybe the native screen resolution is 1024x768 and you cant use a higher one.
You can download all drivers for your notebook on the Toshiba website!!! Dont use the drivers from ATI directly, they are not designed for mobile chips.

Screen Resolution In Games!

Hi there,
I have an MSI GeForce FX5700LE 256mb. Everything works fine, however, when I try to change the resolution in a game the screen does not change. For instance, in Soldier of Fortune II I have the resolution set to 1152x864. When I start the game the initial screen (black with "loading...") comes up in the said res, but when it goes to the next loading screen it jumps to the 800x600 resolution. I can minimize the game and it will be the resolution I set in the game on my desktop. So the setting is in affect, but the game is not playing in that res.
I also tested this on StarWars Battlefront this morning and the same thing. I changed the resolution from 1024x768 to 1152x864 and nothing changed. I restarted the game, the setting still says 1152x864, but the res of the game stayed the same as before changing.
Is this a problem with the card or a setting I am missing? My desktop is set to 1152x864 and runs perfectly. The games run fine in the lower resolution, however, my card should support higher res in game.
Some Spec:
WinXP Pro SP1
DirectX 9.0c
ViewSonic VP2000s
P4 3.0GHz
1g pc2100
MSI PT880 Neo-SR
I have the latest NVIDIA and ViewSonic drivers installed. I hope this is enough info. Thanks in advance for your help!

Thank you for the reply...
I have the latest NVIDIA drivers: ver. 66.93...downloaded and installed a few days ago.
I have had this issue since I put together this pc 6 months ago. Since the games run in the other resolution, I figured it was no big deal. However, I then thought better to find out the problem now before the warranty is gone on the graphics card.
Thanks again for your help!

Wrong screen resolution

I know, this is a common problem, but after hours of googling and browsing Wiki and Forums I haven't fixed it. So...
I'm running the latest Arch + KDE on my new laptop, which has AMD graphics card and the display native resolution is 1366x768. But the system can't recognize it, so it runs at "default" configuration (1024*768) and I am not able to change it. It is a bit annoying, but I think I have tried almost everything. I have the open source ATI drivers installed. I have also MODULES="radeon" setting in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.
First thing I tried was adding the resolution using xrandr. I did the --addmode and --newmode, but --output gave me this error : xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed and after reboot, the added resolution disappeared from xrandr list, leaving "1024x768" as the only option.
I think I have some problems with the drivers than. What should I do to get them working properly ? Or is there any interference with VESA ? Even with the MODULES="radeon" setting ? Also, when I plug in an external 24" (1920x1080) monitor, still recognized just as "default" with 1024x768. I'm stuck. Any help appreciated. Thank you.
P.S. Sorry for my bad English.

Satellite A500: Low screen resolution using Win 7

Hi,
I've looked around the forum and haven't found any real solutions to my problem so...
I recently bought a Satellite A500 and did a fresh install of Windows 7 Professional on it.
Apparently I was supposed to just upgrade it in order to keep the drivers but being the noob I am, I didn't.
So now my resolution is stuck at 1024x768 or 800x600, neither of which are native.
I've downloaded the win7 64-bit drivers from the Toshiba website, but apparently I already have the latest ATI driver installed.
However I still can't change the resolution and my monitor is recognized as generic non-PnP.
Is there any way to check if I have the display driver already?
And also any solutions to the display problem would be much obliged. It's the only thing left bothering me now about this new laptop.

Hi
I assume you are using Win 7 64bit OS since you have chosen the Win 7 64bit display driver is it right?
What A500-xxx do you have exactly?
The Toshiba European driver page provides three different display drivers for A500 series; Intel, nVidia and ATI
Seems three different graphic chips have been installed in A500 series
You should firstly check what graphic chip your notebook uses
Then go to device manager and uninstall the installed display driver.
Then visit the Toshiba European driver page, download the right display driver for the graphic chip and install it.
After that reboot the unit and check how the notebook would run.

How to fix screen resolutions for games

I play on Pogo.com and recently noticed that my screen is split when playing games. There is too much space between the game and chat area. If I enlarge it to max, it doesn't take all the picture I need on the left side on some games, but always either small or larger screen there's a 2" space that should not be there. Can you please help?

Satellite A60: higher screen resolution as 1024x786?

Hey,
I was wondering if its possible to get a higher resolution for my laptopscreen.
Now it's 1024x786. Higher modes aren't displayed in the configuration menu. I can set the resolution for an external monitor higher though.
Thx

Hi
It is probably technical restriction. If you want to test higher resolution on the laptop LCD enable other resolutions. You can do it on this way:
Control Panel > Display > Settings tab > Advanced > Adapter tab > List all Modes
Try there to change the resolution and you will se how it works.

Caution: MBP 17" Hi-Res Labeled as Wrong Screen

Purchased a Macbook Pro at Apple store Wednesday, the 17" hi-res model with 1920x1200 matte LED screen (also 7200 rpm drive and 2 GB of RAM options). After getting home, transferring files, and logging into desktop, discovered it was actually a 1680x1050 screen.
Double checked the box, labeled 1920x1200. Double checked the serial number on box and internal to the Mac, and the box matched the system bios. All other custom specs were correct, just the *wrong screen resolution*.
Took it back to Apple store. They said they'd never seen this before. They gave me another one, and after getting home, transferring files, and logging in, I was happy to see it was the correct resolution.
(First guess was maybe the box spec label was the only thing wrong, but the SKU from box serial number label also rang as the hi-res screen, and that serial showed as hi-res screen at Genius Bar, and that serial matched the internal system serial. So somehow the Macbook had had the wrong screen assembled onto it.)
In any case, if you bought the hi-res version last week or so, doesn't hurt to check and make sure you got what you paid for.

I ordered a 17" hi-res glossy LCD (LED back lit) screen around mid May and got a matte screen instead. The label on the box and on the computer all matched the order as hi-res glossy. The display sure looks like a matte version to me. Since I was on the fence on which one to get anyway, I just kept it.
I've had no issues with the MBP or display so far, no stripes or anything like that.

Satellite M40: Graphic Errors when changing screen resolution

Hi,
I have a Satellite M40 and a big problem.
in windows xp pro sp2:
when a program changes the screen resolution, the screen gets messed up,
I see only stripes and only a restart can get it back working (or suspend to disk).
[edit]
I plugged an external monitor to the laptop and it works,
the laptop screen is full of lines and the 2nd monitor shows what the laptop screen should normally also show
[/edit]
in linux:
this can be also seen when changing from the xwindow mode in linux back to tty(1-6)
Here are some pictures of this strange behavior:

http://www.ronnylindner.de/extern/images/toshiba/screen2.jpg
http://www.ronnylindner.de/extern/images/toshiba/screen3.jpg
It looks like a hardware problem, but could it be just a wrong bios setting?
What can I do?
Bye and thanks in advance, Ronny

I will try it with the Toshiba graphics driver, at the moment I use the newest Omega driver
I use 1280x800 as normal resolution
programs giving this error:
world of warcraft (1024x768) -> working with 1280x800
age of empires 2 (800x600)
as I said before, I get this problem also using Suse Linux when I switch from KDE to tty
thanks you too, hope we can get it working together :-)
[edit]
strange, using the Toshiba display driver I got the problem at the first try (aoe2), but now it is not reproducable :-(

My screen resolution becomes small when I play any game

Hi,
I own a Toshiba Satellite M30X-113 with a atim mobility radeon 9700 graphics card. Lately, when I have been playing games, the screen resolution has shrunk ,and its become small. I try changing it from the menu (video options) but its still has no effect. I then used windows display mode to change, but that too had no effect. I used to use 32-bit setting on 1024x768, but it also keeps jumping back to 1280 resolution. Why is this happening? Is there any way to change it back to the way it was.

Hi
I agree with audigex. The games internal resolution has nothing to do with the computer display resolution. Usually you can change the resolution in the game settings.
I cant give you a proper answer why it has changed but Im sure the game settings are responsible for this issue.

Satellite M110 - question on Screen resolution 1600 x 900

Hi experts, hoping you can help me out.
Just bought an external screen which needs 1600 x 900 screen resolution,.... trouble is my display settings don't have that option.
If I "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display" I can only choose 800x600 or 1024x768
If I uncheck this box "hide...display", the nearest I can choose are 1280x1024 or 1600x1200
Where is the 1600 x 900 option??? everything on the external screen is sttrreettched out.....
I have
- Satellite M110 PSMB0A
- Windows XP
- Display adapter says "Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset Family"
- I've downloaded the latest driver, (at least I think I did!) and my driver version is 6.14.10.4543 dated 23/03/06
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi
There are two reasons why a favorite resolution is not available.
1) the graphic card driver does not support such resolution
2) or/and the graphic card doesnt support it too.
In the user manual of Satellite M110 you should find a info (somewhere at the end of user manual) what resolutions are supported and available.
If the graphic card would support such resolution then this would mean that your installed driver is the reason why you cannot choose this resolution.
In such case its advisable to update the driver and to use the one from the Intel page.
The graphic chip is Intel one and therefore the driver from Intel page should work.
In some cases you would be not able to install the driver executing the setup.exe.
In such case you have to go to the device manger and have to use the advanced installation procedure. Then you could point to the driver package which you have downloaded previously from Intel page.

Satellite L500-1WP - Higher screen resolution than HD?

Good day!
I use Toshiba Satellite L500-1WP. I have bought a new monitor Dell U2711 with max resolution 2560x1440. I tryed to connect this monitor to my computer using HDMI cable, the video card identifies that monitor as an HD TV and makes max. resolution possible 1920x1080.
Is it possible to make theese 2 work together with the resolution I need (2560x1440), or I should buy a new computer with DVI port?

Hi buddy,
You should check the user manual There I founded an information that the computer can display up to 2048 horizontal and 1536 vertical pixels at up to 16M colors.
So for me it sounds like you cant use the native screen resolution of your external monitor but normally 1080p should be good enough. :)

Satellite Pro A30 - 1024 X 768 screen resolution only

My Satellite Pro A30 will only run at a screen resolution of 1024 X 768 can I increase this ? I did not see any options in the display settings or the BIOS

Hi Carl,
I believe that 1024 X 768 is the maximum availavle screen size for your A30. You can, of course reduce this to a smaller value if you wish but you will not be able to increase it.
The value is set in the deisplay properties available from the control panel, or by right clicking on the desktop area and selecting 'properties'. The value is set by the slider in the lower left hand corner of the window.
