Ok, I ran into a bit shit sandwich that I had to take a big bite out of yesterday. I sold a Dell SX280 to a friend of mine, and I mated it up with a Dell IN1910N 19" 16:9 widescreen monitor. Low & behold, the driver for the onboard Intel video doesn't support its native resolution of 1366x768. 1280x768 looked ok on it, but in my mind, it just wasn't right...... It's been years since I've had to write/hack a driver to make something like this work, but after a few hours of tracking down this monitor's modeline and converting it to hexadecimal, and then hacking it into the driver, I got a quick refresher course on the topic... The driver I used was the latest driver provided by Dell from their site. Before you ask, yes, I tried the latest driver from Intel as well, to no avail.
Anyway, since I went through all the hell of making this, I figured I'd share it with everyone. Nobody needs to go through the 2 hours of bullshit I went through to make this...so here it is. This driver will work on any Dell SX280, GX280 (thats using the onboard video), and any other Dell board using this video chip.

Just unRAR it, and execute the setup.exe like you would do for a normal install, nothing special is required to make this driver install or work right, 1366x768 will be in the resolution setting slider.
This driver should work for other model monitors using this resolution for their native as well, but bear in mind, it hasn't been tested on any other monitor except the Dell IN1910N (which it works beautiful on). Its written for win2k and XP pro.
