I know my monitor and video card supports 1152x900NI resolution 'cuz I run this on Win95 every day. But of course, noone has figured out the timings for this monitor yet. Before I take slide rule and dice to figure out the video timings for my monitor/card combination I thought I would ask... Isn't there a program out there which can query a "plug and play" monitor for all its pre-programmed video modes/timing settings, and display them on the screen, or capture them into a file? It would sure beat the current methods, which are excruciatingly boring and tedious. Thanks for any help or pointers...
