Intel GFX driver resolution fix
I recently encountered a problem whereby I had a batch of brand new Hewlett Packard DC5700 (small form factor) computers which would not allow me to set a widescreen resolution of 1440x900. The chipset model was an Intel Q963 Express, and the onboard graphics media accelerator was an Intel GMA 3000.
After some research it appeared that the latest driver from Intel was not configured to support the resolution of 1440x900, even though after experimenting with settings within Windows display properties and actually getting it set to 1440x900 on one occasion. A quick Google also revealed the maximum resolution supported was 1680x1050. I was baffled as to why a graphics controller and its driver that allows a resolution as high as 1680x1050 would not allow me to set a resolution at the lower 1440x900.
It turns out that the driver is to blame. It seems Intel do not configure their driver to natively allow a resolution of 1440x900 (as well as other resolutions between 800x600 and the maximum supported resolution of 1680x1050). It seems this has also been a problem with other chipsets that Intel manufactures (from their 915 series upwards).
An inspection of the zip version of the driver (Intel provide 2 drivers, one in the form of a self extracting .exe and the other is a .zip file containing all the driver files) for my graphics controller revealed that a file within the driver- igxp32.inf (a setup information file) would allow me to specify extra resolutions that could be used by the computer after the driver was installed. Opening this file in notepad, one section immediately caught my attention:
[NonEDIDMode_AddSwSettings]
Within this section of igxp32.inf it appeared I could enable up to 5 extra resolutions for use within Windows display properties. The next line of the file has been commented by Intel:
HKR,, TotalDTDCount, %REG_DWORD%, 0 ; This shows number of DTDs to be used. ; 0-->Disable the feature.
Well I wanted to enable all the resolutions I could, so I changed the 0 to a 5 like so:
HKR,, TotalDTDCount, %REG_DWORD%, 5 ; This shows number of DTDs to be used. ; 0-->Disable the feature.
The next 5 lines within the file seemed to be the settings for the extra resolutions that would be added after this driver is installed. The first 4 had been set already to offer 1920x1080@60, 1920x1080@50, 1280x720@60 and 1280x720@50 resolutions. The last, 5th line had no hexadecimal values, and the comment on the end of the setting was blank, so here is where I edited and added the resolution for the screen I was trying to get working. A quick Google of 1440x900@60 revealed the hex values for that resolution to be:
HKR,, DTD_5,%REG_BINARY%, 97,29,A0,D0,51,84,20,30,50,98,13,00,00,00,00,00,00,1C,37,01 ;1440x900@60
So I edited the 5th line to look like that above and saved the file. Upon un-installation of the old driver and installation of the newly modified driver, a quick delve into the settings in display properties revealed all 5 new resolutions selectable. I could now apply the 1440x900 resolution I wanted.
I believe that other Intel graphics drivers may have the setup information file named differently from igxp32.inf, but that they can all be modified in the same way.









Awesome i love you 😀 i just got a new quad core processor and a mobo with onboard GMA 3100 same problem. Thanks.
Excellent, I have a Toshiba with the Intel 915gm chipset that has the same problem. The changes you've suggested work, however I was unable to find the hex values for 1920x1200 at 60Hz which is the native resolution for my monitor. Do you know a good source for the values or the format used?
This is good ive used it a few times now after different windows version and want to say thanks again.
Hey KAS, ive been away for a while, sorry I couldn't help you sooner. Ive had a quick google for you and think the DTD value you need for your resolution can be found here:
Intel Forums
A better explanation of the meanings of all of the values can be found there as well. Hope it helps.
James
You are most awesome. I reinstalled MCE2005 on my Lenovo to find no more 1440x900 for me. This guide has saved me from grave unhappiness. Thanks!
Brilljant! Thanks for the info and sharing!
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for this, it was very helpful.
You can also just search for the values in the registry and change them there.
Dave...where did you find them in the registry?
James - I have emailed you a few times but with no response. Where did you find the conversion information for that resolution you wanted. I have the EXACT same PC and a 22" Dell FP that can run at 1680X1050. It has worked before but I did a driver update and have since lost that ability. Can you help with getting me a working command line that I can put in my .inf.
Thanks!
Hi John, I did reply to your email last week when I received it, and again today. Incase there is a problem with your yahoo account here is what I think you were looking for:
For 1680x1050 at 60hz try this:
HKR,, DTD_5, %REG_BINARY%, 79,39,90,40,62,1A,25,40,68,B8,3,00,00,00,00,00,00,1C,27,00 ;1680x1050@60
I haven't got an exact method for calculating the correct DTD values myself. Apparently these can be obtained through Intel (although I have never attempted this). A quick Google for "1680x1050@60 Intel dtd" or the equivalent usually gives me the result I need when people ask for the values. Let me know the results.
Yea for some reason your email hit the spam folder straight out of the bag, so I guess that is what happened this time. Going to give it a try now and I will let you know in a few minutes!!! Thanks very much!
It works like a charm...thanks much for the help James!
Good work! Thanks a million. Do you think it would be possible to change the value to a 6, then add both 1440X900 and 1680X1050?
Thaks a lot!!!!
Hi Richard, if you would more than one specific resolution within the driver I would suggest modifying one of the pre-set DTDs (one of the first 4 set by Intel that are left disabled by default). I'm not sure that adding a 6th resolution would work but if you try it let me know.
Thankyou for saving my sanity !! Much appreciated.
My ACER E650 runs the Intel 945G chipset with integrated GMA 950 graphics. I'm also using an ACER 1916W monitor with 1440x900 native resolution.
This resolution originally worked out of the box for me... but I came to the computer a couple of days back and one of my young children had been playing around and the 1440x900 mode had simply disappeared !
Reinstalling the original ancient drivers provided with the system also didn't help.
Your fix was an absolute godsend and I am very very grateful.

I cannot find this igxp32.inf file from the Intel Driver zip file. There is no Inf as well. My display is 82865G, what could i do?
Ken, look for *.inf in the \Graphics directory after you have unzipped the driver. This is a different chipset to mine, but I suspect the same procedure would apply. There is only a single .inf file in my chipet's driver's \Graphics directory and I suspect it likely to be the same for your chipset.
Let us know how you fare.

HI! i have an intel 82865g display adapter and can run in higher resolution like 2048x1536 and some 1600p resolutions but the line to modify that you show here is not at the ialmnt5.inf file of this adapter. i need to run 1440x900 for my new dell flat monitor. what can i do?
Hello James -
Many thanks for the initial solution, and keeping an eye on the comments. Above and beyond...
Unfortunately my gf's computer just lost the ability to display 1440x900, after being plugged into a different receptacle, of all things. The chipset is the 82865G as well as those above, and I can confirm the apparent lack of any similar entries in the .INF file (in this case ialmnt5.inf) I too have tried the usual things to no effect, and was really hoping that this was the solution.
If anyone here has managed to coax their 82865G chipset into supporting WSXGA please leave a comment - many thanks.
Genius!
Yep, I have the same problem with the 865G. I'll be popping in to see if someone has found the solution...
Great! Thanks
Thanks a lot.
Really HELPFUL info =)
Hi man ur a genius.Thanx for this great article.I fixed my Samsung 19" LCD to display 1440x900 resolution with this article.Thanks a lot ones again.
The solution presented here should work for the following intel chipsets:
GMA900 aka 915G/GM
GMA950 aka 945G/GM
GMA3000/3000X aka G965/Q965/946Z
GMA3100X aka GM965
GMA3100 aka G31/G33
GMA3500X aka G35
I found a tool that makes such modifications easier, look at: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=947830
However, the drivers for i852/855 (and probably the i865, too) do not support "custom" resolutions, so the suggestions above do not work. You can try to use the IEGD drivers instead: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=2159
That worked for a 1920x1200 resolution, but I'm not yet completely happy (I guess I need to install the drivers for both adapters to switch between internal and external display).
Hi. I just got a new PC and for monitor I got the Samsung SyncMaster943 NWX (19" Wide Screen). I was personally very happy with the performance of this monitor but just out of curiosity was just surfing the web to read reviews and comments about this monitor to get a feel of the general perception and experience of other users. (Just FYI : I bought a G31 - M7 - TE motherboard for my new machine and had absolutely no problem with the display or the resolution). While I was searching for reviews, I came across some threads reporting this problem of resolution that many users faced with certain Display Adapters (I never faced this problem fortunately). One such thread let me to this article. After reading it and the responses I was very impressed indeed - James - your s was a wonderful article and such articles really uphold the spirit of the internet community and knowledge sharing. Fantastic !!! Thanks for such wonderfully helpful info. I really appreciate.
Hello James,
I have a intel 82865 G video adapter, and i was not able to find the .inf file you said.. where can i find this type of file? if you can help it would be very helpful
thank you

i want to marry you!
Hi!
I have same problem 🙁 We bought 3 pcs Dell Optiplex GX270 (Intel 82865G) plus 3 pcs Acer AL1916W Wide screen TFT. When I installed Xp Prof., one of them worked with 1440 x 900 resolution. But a couple of hours ago it gone off.
I am so sad. I would like to solve this problem, because 1024*768 resolution isn't good. But I can't find good idea.
Please help me, if you can.
Thank you
Szabolcs
"A quick Google of 1440×900@60 revealed the hex values for that resolution to be:"
I want to set resolution to 1440×900@75, and google lots of keywords, but I can't find the REG_BINARY for it , can you tell me how to find it? thanks
Thank you very much James Clements. It is a perfect solution to intel G31/33 resolution issue. You have solved my 2 month's long lasting struggle with this article. And the most adorable thing is that you have succeeded where intel customer care itself failed!!!!. And once again thank you very much for saving my nerves and sharing such information to people in distress.

I sloved the problem. I installed Intel 6.14.10.4544 82865G A10 graphics controller driver and set the monitor type "Plug and play monitor". After it I shut down the computer, disconected computer and monitor power cable. When I turned on the computer, I saw 1440 x 900 option. The bios version doesn't matter. It's worked with A3, A6 and A7 version. The monitors are Acer AL1916W TFT.
Regards,
Szabolcs
Ohhhhh, you're the MAN! 😉
915GM chipset with Acer w173w as secondary monitor and NOTHING would get the darn thing to display 1440x900. PowerStrip, MonInfo, etc; nothing!
Found your post and voilà !, easy as pie! Thank you very much, I was just about to ditch that monitor and get a "non-widescreen"!
Any chance of forwarding this to our friends at Intel? Can't believe I was the only one with this problem!
Again, thank you!
James,
Many, many thanks for sharing this.
Was at my wit's end.
Worked like a charm on my Intel G33/G31 chipset
(Intel Mobo DG31PR with an HP w19 Monitor).

Thank you very much!!, YOU ARE THE BEST!!!..It works PERFECT for my Intel Mobo!....
hi! i need help on saving the .inf file. i cant save your hex values. i have already opened and edited the values in notepad but when i was trying to save the file,it prompts me up that the file is a read only. please help how to complete this igxp32 so i may also be able to use 1440*900 resolution on my new monitor. thanks in advance!
its me again. i found a way to save the .inf file. but the option in selecting 1440*900 is still not available for me. what do i do next?
Jonts, make sure you extract all the files from the zip archive first by right clicking it and selecting 'extract all'. Then edit the file within the non zipped folder that appears. Once you have edited the file save it. Then run setup from the same folder.
hey james! thanks for replying. i really have no idea what im doing right now. im just following what i can google at the moment. so far,its not successful. fortunately, you replied! thanks so much. pls guide me through all the files to open and edit. i only searched for igxp32.inf and edited it in C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\igxp32_D9CEE5983DF36CE55A05BE3C95D20FE7AC0F06FF. i cant locate any zip archive in the directory. pls guide me thru. thanks again!
hey james! i've finally done it! thanks so much for everything! you're the best! thanks a lot again!!!
Thanks a lot yaar....been behind this for a long time
James,
I know you posted this information over a year ago, but I just have to say THANK YOU! I built a desktop a couple of months ago that had been working great until today when I booted up and found that 1440X900 had disappeared from my resolution options (resulting in squished, letter-boxed image). Perhaps Windows XP did an automatic update last night before I shut down that caused this.
In any case, I found your site, followed your steps to fix the problem, and it worked like a charm! In case anybody is wondering, this is on an Intel G43 chipset with X4500 graphics, so this fix is indeed relevant for these newer Intel GMA adapters.
Thanks again!
Chris
James,
Allow me to pile on the praise. Your few hours of inspiration and perspiration have provided joy for so many 18 months later and counting. My crappy Dell Latitude D610 (from work) wouldn't give me the option to display 1920x1080 on my 52" HDTV via VGA until I read your article. I had been working on the problem for at least 2 weeks. I am in debt to you!! Thank you again and again!!! You are an example to the rest of us on how we should all work hard and share what we have learned with one another. I have some minor updates for you and the gang.
When I changed the ialmnt.inf (seems proprietary to Dell validated drivers?) entry from 0 to 5 only 2 of the 4 entries now showed up in the properties page. 1280x720@50 and @60 still don't show. I've modified the 1280x720@50 to 1280x722@50 and it now shows. I read on another thread that this could be disabled in the BiOS. Did anyone see the same thing?
To those who cannot find the .inf file, it may be under Dell\Drivers as ialmnt5.inf. Very close to half-way down the page you'll see the settings.
Richard, James,
Yes you can add a sixth DTD but be sure to add the necessary incremented field under DelSWSettings as well for DTD_6.
Wu, Arban,
There's a great tool out there to modify DTD's any which way you like. Please find the DTDCalculator at http://www.clevertec.co.uk/productsfree.htm
Hopefully Intel will have improved drivers for 2009 so that we don't need these hacks to lead fulfilling, high resolution lives. Holding breath...
Thanks again James,
Samer
Wu, Arban,
Quick update. I went to http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/user-community-for-intel-graphics-technology/topic/54202 for 1440x900 DTD. Playing around with the 4th one down in DTDCalculator gave me the following DTD for 1440x900p @75 Hz. Remember to add your own 2 Bytes of flags to the end (i.e. 37 01). I used a pixel frequency of 135.7 MHz to get a 75.02 Hz refresh rate.
02 35 A0 D8 51 84 2E 30 20 98 29 14 00 00 00 00 00 1A
See if this works for you or try modifying another one on your own.
My question to you, however, is why 75 Hz? Better viewing/gaming experience?
Cheers,
Samer
He's the best, it works!
hey great man...
Thank u very much...really i've got the right 1440X900 resolution in my Intel DG31GL board. I really really thnk u vey much.
It works now n im really happy now. coz i was so frustrated before.
U make me happy....
Thnx again.
What a great solution man !!!
I am really very very much thankful to you for this solution. I have wasted three of my days fixing it.
I have tried it with Intel 82945G and it is fixed at very first attempt..
Thanks a lot once again.
With Regards,
Gagan Kundra
Great job James, thanks a lot.
...f***ing Intel developers, they lost the point in the wide resolutions era.
Hi, James Clements,
Just Awesome.... Cheers Dude... It worked Fine on G31 with modification to igxp32.inf in the setup folder... Once agin thanx for such a post
My new PC is back on the store, they are trying to fix this resolution problem. I will make a call tomorrow.
Thanks from Guatemala.
Now I have the pc on my house, Everything is ok thanks to you.
🙂
Thank you sooooooooo much James Clements i was about to have my computer repaired because of this problem and then i read this, thanx you are awesome.
Hey James (and Samer)
I've got a lab with Dell Optiplex pcs that are all suddenly losing their 1440x900 ability! I've found the ialmnt5.inf file, but there is no DTD entry in it, nor can I find that entry in the registry.
Of course, being that it's a Dell, the Intel driver from the website doesn't help at all (won't install)!
About five machines here have *lost* 1440*900 despite having exaclty the same hardware AND driver installed. Rolling back doesn't help.
The DTD Calculator software also doesn't work on these Dells because that reg key isn't there...
Any ideas?
See below for a excerpt from the inf file:
[PwrCons_AddSwSettings]
HKR,, FeatureTestControl,%REG_DWORD%, 0
[PwrCons_DelSwSettings]
HKR,FeatureTestControl
[SDVO_AddDeviceSettings]
HKR,, SDVOFeatureControl,%REG_DWORD%, 5 ; SDVO Feature Control
[PERF_AddSwSettings]
HKR,, LogResumeTime,%REG_DWORD%, 0 ; Enables or Disables Resume analysis,0 - disable 1 - enable
HKR,, MaxRuns,%REG_DWORD%, 9 ; The maximum number of runs after which old resumeTime values over-written.
So a quick update: Some of the machines in the lab with a G33/G31 chipset are now working with 1440 x 900! I managed to edit the "kit1675.inf" file with the DTD info, reinstalled the driver and it worked. However, the older machines with the 82865G chipset us a ialmnt5.inf file with no reference to DTD - even pasting the code in doesn't seem to matter...
Any ideas with how to edit the driver (or inf file) for 82865G?
One final point: This probably wasn't clear, but I've got machines that are EXACTLY the same (Optiplex 170L's bought at the same time with exactly the same monitor hooked up) One machine can do 1440 x 900 and one cannot. All the machine HAVE been running 1440 x 900 for two years, and suddenly they are losing that ability!
Weird huh?
That was an awesome fix, dude! Hats off to you.
I was struggling on my HP with Acer 19 wide (AL1916W);
with your fix its working perfect! Thanks for sharing.
Allah Razi Olsun !!
Allah tuttugunu altin etsin 🙂
Worked like a charm. And for any of you wondering, it works for an XP video driver installing in Windows 2003 Server.
Hi, I have changed the igdlh.inf file for the driver and I have activated dtd with resolution 1680x1050 at number 5. But when I install the driver I can't set my Samsung T220 ti this resolution. Does someone has a solution?
Thank you!
(win-xp + intel946GZ + Samsung 943NW)
It is now working on 1 monitor. But I have connected 2 monitors to my notebook. 1 Samsung T220 connected to my DVI port en 1 Samsung T220 to my VGA port. The monitor with the DVI is working with the right resolution but when I want to set the monitor with the vga port it jumps back if I select 1680x1050. What can the problem be?
Thank you!
It works like a charm. I was stumped with this one for a long time.
I tried it on an Intel 82945G Express Chipset with a ViewSonic VA1716w LCD display.
Worked perfectly on my dell latitude D630 (965 c/s) using the 6.14.10.4926 intel driver. 1440x900 to match HPL1908x panel.
Thanks champ.
okay i search trough internet and cant find the soluton. from what im read... u all talk about the integerated video card on the motherbord.
so my problem is im using P35 chipset. and this mobo dont have integerated VGA. and intel absolutely dont have the driver for hardware they dont installed on the mobo. here's the site
http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/CS-026488.htm
so i guest i should modify the nvidia inf setting rite?
the problem is i dont know how to do it. so cn u help me? i have suffer about 12months with this not compitable resolution.
im using 19"945NWX LCD,
8800GT and Q6600 Core
my IT dept switched my monitor, I've been looking for a fix ever since then. I could kiss you on the mouth dude. I figure I have a full 9 hour day spread out over 3 months into this before I found your solution.
Thank you!!
Big respect - many thanks!
Great respect from Russia!
James, you save the world 🙂
I shall call you... Master. Thanks a lot!!
Just another formerly frustrated computer user who wants to say Thanks!
I have got a 845GV chipset and there is no igpxp32 file, although there is an ialmnt5 file, which doesnt mention any DTDs. Pls help, I need to run 1440x900.
I cannot believe I put up with this problem for months.. I'm so glad I found your instructions: they worked like a charm for me. Thank you so much!!
Great, James. You saved my life.
Now, if I want to set to 1280 * 800, how can I edit that "5th line"?
I mean, instead of :
HKR,, DTD_5,%REG_BINARY%, 97,29,A0,D0,51,84,20,30,50,98,13,00,00,00,00,00,00,1C,37,01 ;1440x900@60
how can I do to set to 1280 * 800 for a laptop?
Thank you!
I've downloaded latest version (14.17) of drivers for my 82865G. And only inf-file in zip-archive is ialmnt5.inf in win2000 folder.
I've changed it and added:
[NonEDIDMode_AddSwSettings]
HKR,, TotalDTDCount, %REG_DWORD%, 1
HKR,, DTD_1,%REG_BINARY%, 97,29,A0,D0,51,84,20,30,50,98,13,00,00,00,00,00,00,1C,37,01
[NonEDIDMode_DelSwSettings]
HKR,, TotalDTDCount
HKR,, DTD_1
Also in [i865G.SoftwareSettings] and other [xxxx.SoftwareSettings] block i've added strings:
AddReg = NonEDIDMode_AddSwSettings
DelReg = NonEDIDMode_DelSwSettings
But it doesn't work 🙁 .
Could anyone upload modded driver (ex rapidshare)
Thank in advance
Thank a lot!
That's really help me a lot.
Now I hava 1440x900.
On my Intel DG31RP my new Philips 190vw9 monitor didn't get it's 1440x900 resolution until I found your post.
Within the last drivers I downloaded I just edited the .inf as per your instructions and that worked great.
Strange the Intel didn't update their drivers yet.
Nothing about this issue on their web. At one of the forums someone refers to your solution.
You should charge Intel for doing their job.
Anyhow many thanks.
Thanks!!!!
U save my eyes
fantastic!
it's work great!
thanx.
Hello James:
I have an HP-Pavilion t730m computer with a Samsung 19" lcd monitor. Previously it had Windows Vista Ultimate working correctly (lol no aero effect, but I don't use it so no worries about that). I recently upgraded to Windows 7 and....
I really hope that you can help me. I installed Windows 7 RC and after install my monitor resolution is set to 800x600. If I try to raise it, I get just one more option and when selecting it, I get a black vertical bar on the right of the monitor with still very bad resolution.
My Display Adapter is listed as Intel (R) 82865 G Graphics Controller (Microsoft Corporation XDDM)
and my Monitor is: SyncMaster 943 NW/943 NWX/ NW 1943/NWX 1943.
I hope you can help me find a solution to this problem.
Thanks,
Max
Oh, before the upgrade I had 1440x900 resolution and it looked great.
Thank you. Worked like a charm for WHS.
sorry but where cani put this
HKR,, DTD_5,%REG_BINARY%, 97,29,A0,D0,51,84,20,30,50,98,13,00,00,00,00,00,00,1C,37,01 ;1440x900@60
OMG I sat here for three hours and almost f@#$ing cried, because I couldn't get this Samsung monitor to work properly with my new notebook. Thank you so so so much for taking the time to post this solution!
Best regards,
Jules
This thread is of great help! Thank you so much.
DUDE !! I allready opened the window to throw my computer out of it. Tried everything and no fix until I stumbled on to this page..
Finally my screen is in its native resolution now. Darn Intel devvers for not adding wide screen support.
Thanks a bunch for sharing.
cheers from NL.

i searched throughout the web to find a solution but nothing worked.
then i came to this post and my problem has been cured thanx to u...
THANK YOU James, I use Intel 82945G Express+acer al1917w I cannot set my screen resolution to 1440x900, but with your help that no problem anymore! 😀
if you have problem to edit .inf files.You can change all those value using regedit
I have a Dell Optiplex 170L with the 81865G Graphic and now I want to connect a 1920x1200 LCD (Samsung 2443BW). I can only select 1600x1200@60 or 1920x1200@75. The monitor only accepts 60Hz so at the moment i only run 1600x1200.
The harware is ok because in Ubuntu it works ok.
Can anybody help?
Thank you very much, you saved my eyes
I had the same problem and found a much easier solution, download the drivers, and from the command line just run setup.exe -32x1440x900*75, (color, resolution, refresh rate), then restart the computer, and the resolution you entered will be available on the graphic resolution list...
(more options in setup exe, read readme.txt)
it works perfectly fine!
hi there i dont know where to start i have lg 20 inch monitor tv wanting 1900 resolution for monitor dont have it

Perfect! thanks!
Ultimate solution.. There is no need to buy graphics card to get this resolution.... i certainly saved 4k bugs... !!!
Thank you
This works incredibly!Thanks ever so much!

I found this article whilst looking for how to set 1440 on my dell gx270 running xp.
Very useful, but maybe worth trying to update the driver from within the system/device manager fist.
This worked for me.
You genius! Worked perfectly and prevented me from starting to go insane.
This problem has plagued me for years - what is it with Intel and its denial of 1440x900 monitors?
They even have a special graphics driver on their website to support this resolution amongst other widescreen formats and even this didn't work for me - well, not until I modded the INF file at least.
In the past I've have to resort to a blurry 1280x1024 or Powerstrip although this seems to have issues when controlling my Servers through RDC.
Thanks James - You're a star!
FANTASTIC! I've been banging my head against the wall for the last few hours - your post has saved me so much time and effort.
Great! Many thanks! You save my day.

Hi everybody!
I had the same resolution problem with i82865G chipset. After few days of resource (reading forums, blogs, lots of comments etc...) found a great article here:
http://w0rst-hardware.blogspot.com
Upon following instructions from the post I DID manage to create a custom driver handling 19120x1080 resolution what I am happy to share you with. R U ready ? 😀

Give it a try and let me know your experiences.
Hi darkchucky.
i tried your driver on my dell sx270. It was installed ok but after restart i got No signal on my monitor Samsung P2270HD. The only way to run windows is in safe mode or in VGA mode. Any try to switch to different resolution (i.e. 800x600) will make the monitor no signal (so i have to reboot again).
Seems this driver is not for i82865G chipset.
i am a computer newbie, i just heart intel chipset or motherboard drivers, so it's the first time i get some idea of Intel GFX driver, though i'm still confused about it, it seems good.
I'm using Biostar A780L3G AM3 (AMD 760G) with Samsung 943BWX and i can't set resolution to native 1440x900, can you help me please.
The solution that darkchucky offered has worked for Intel 82865g driver on Dell optiplex gx270. Although I have made the driver myself with Intel IGED for Intel 845 Chipset. For calculating the modelines for DTDs one can use ELDIM EDIDViewer to see the current displays preferred resolution and its native modeline data.
There are a number of IGEDs on Intel website and I have used the one 'IGED 845 with CED', and selected 845 chipset (again for a system that has 82865g) during setting up the configuration for the driver. Once you generate the package, unzip the package from its location under the installation folder which is under IGED folder, and manually update the driver through device manager using the .inf file found under the Drivers folder(under the generated and unzipped installation folder)
For the rest of the process if you need help use the blogspot website that darkchucky sent, for a pictured tutorial. I think one has to be careful with the modeline data, while generating the driver installation package, ELDIM EDIDViewer is pretty good for that purpose.
@darkchucky
Thanks a lot for the driver darkchucky. It worked like a charm on Dell Optiplex GX270. My Dell Optiplex GX270 came with the onboard Intel 82865G graphic chip.
@darkchucky
THANKS YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Now my $20 P4 can me a cheap HTPC solution!!
Ok. I did this and finally i have 1440x900 resolution. Thank you.
I have one problem. Everything works fine. But everytime I reboot my computer, when I logged in, The resolution change automatically to 800x600 pixels. I just return it to 1440x900 everytime but this is annoying. Anyone know how to solve this?
@darkchucky
Genius!
Thank you so much for posting your driver - I'd all but given up on resolving this until I found this thread.
AMAZING - Thank you so much!
Freaky solution
Wasted 2 months trying to figure out a way.
Had given up and was going to buy a graphic card.
Why can't the idiots at Intel give us working drivers
Resorting to compiling my own drivers as darkchucky and asoyupak did. Videoseven D19w12b monitor on Intel 82865g now running at 1440x900x75hz. My eyes are no logner strained.
Thank you all.
Please ease me to frame pool
Предложенный вариант работает.
My laptop with Intel 915GM/GSM, 910GML Express Chipset can not recognize the wide-screen display. It said that was Digital Flat Panel (1024x768). So one fifth of the screen has become black pixels. I can not set the screen to the wide screen like it used to.
What should I do? Can anyone help me please?
Cool! It works! Thank you, thank you!
Can anybody help me create custom driver for 82865g for monitor Benq g2220hd for WIN XP proff. im so lost in trying make res 1920x1080 🙁
thanx to all
@darkchucky
could u help me man?
could you help me man ?:) plz
Thanks for this! It took a bit of hunting to find the right file but I got there in the end:
Toshiba Tecra A9 laptop with an Intel Express GM965 chipset and a Samsung SyncMaster 943NWX monitor hanging off the side.
The file within the driver executable archive (from the Toshiba website - Intel's driver would not install) was named "igdlh.inf" and had the same lines of code described above. Gold!
Thanks! it is works for G31/33 and monitor va1916w!
honourable gonna say hello...
Thank-you, it took me a long time to get my friend's AL1916W to work at its native resolution. I ended up editing the registry directly as editing the inf file and resintalling didn't seem to do the trick. In any case, your information was invaluable.
hi there,
I Have Philips 170CW Widescreen LCD, and HP Compaq DC7700p and i want to 1440x900@60Hz.......plz tell me the solution,
thank u
Thank you so much for this.
Had to use on Gigabyte G33M DS2R to get the onboard graphics to work nicely on a HP L1908w monitor.
Works perfectly.
Has anyone got OpenGL/ 3D acceleration to work (at ANY resolution) with darkchucky's driver? I'm glad to be able to get 1920x1080 on my Intel 865G, but I still have this problem! ! please help.
Great workaround. Note that if you use the Intel Graphics Accelerator in XP, the wide mode doesn't show in the Adapter Settings. But it does show in Desktop Properties All Modes.
What I don't understand is why my machine lost the ability to recognize these modes from the monitor. Reinstalling the driver didn't help, though this workaroundd id.
Hi the problem is not with intel but i think with the SyncMaster 943NWX, as am having AMD Phenom x4 and motherboard is Asus M3A78EM with onboard ATI graphic card, i had 1440x900 resolution before but after the service pack one of Win7 Ultimate and some more updates i cant get that resolution back, can you help me?
Wonderful, it really work. Thank you very much.
thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu work great
will this work for asus chipset as well? can it be done for asus drivers? Please advice.
Great work James!
this is really great decision.
Intel developers are loosers.

It worked great with my Acer AL1916W, thanks!
Got it finally working :-))
THANKS A LOT!
@darkchucky
Can you reupload the driver? Actually, anyone have the driver they can upload?
Hello,
I do a new driver to go to 1920x1080 in the resolution.
You can download here http://dl.free.fr/cSjt0Bwv2
Extract the archive, go to utilities and setup (It's finish with a problem but go to the system properties and the graphics driver by the new)
But it works perfect with a Philips226V, but not with a Samsung S22B150N (it works good in 1600x900).
I waiting for your return.
Hi,
Can you please reupload file? Link does not work 🙁
@Delirium6
Delirium,
Would you upload the driver again? I used to have the one done by darkchucky but I re-installed Windows Xp and lost it.
Thank you!

Does anyone have the current driver to fix the 82865g?
I'm really annoyed because I had this working on my dad's 82865G chipset computer before he had a hard drive crash, but now I can't find the right IEGD tool to generate a new driver. If anyone can find an IEGD tool that supports 865G, let me know and I can produce a driver.
Thank you very much!!! It really works and finally can view my monitor in it's own resolution (apologize about my english, i,m from Argentina).
Thanks again !!!
Fantastic! Thank you!
Was having trouble with my monitor and googled "samsung 1440x900 syncmaster 943nw" and found a link to here. Worked a treat.
No more bashing my head against the wall trying to reinstall the winxp 14324 driver again and again. acouple of strategic edits and I'm golden.
Hi James, I know you published that 1440x900 tip ages ago, but thanks a bunch. Worked like a charm. 🙂 Roger V.
Thanks a lot for providing the procedure for accessing 1440x900 resolution!
Can anyone tell my dtd 5 value or 1440x900 resolution of LG W1942S LCD Intel 89245G Chipset.
