Additionally, I vaguely recall that it might be possible to set your screen to 4:3 using the custom resolution mode, but I'm afraid I wouldn't know how to do that, without googling and testing.

I am using a 22" Soyo widescreen LCD monitor with a 1680x1050 native resolution. It has dual inputs, one DVI and one VGA. It is recognized by the system as UPnP monitor. There are no drivers that I am aware of or could find.

I'm using the beta 175.51s, but nVidia have just released a new official set of drivers, the 175.16s, they're the best bet. (You might have to find a modified set, to install them on a 7xxx series card)
It appears that there might be a bug/feature missing with nvidia scaling and analog screens.

If you don't have a dvi input then I suggest trying powerstrip to set a resolution manually, this link provides a tutorial.

Good luck, keep us updated with how it goes.

That Nvidia thread told the tale. You have to be using a DVI connector to get Flatpanel scaling to appear in the control panel. Some people went from VGA to DVI and PRESTO.. there is was.
Soo.. I am buggered then. My current KVM switch is VGA only and my second machine lacks a DVI port. Nobody makes a hybrid (errr.. AFFORDABLE hybrid) that I can find.
Mmm.. I wonder is I can hook one machine up to the analog and one machine up to the DVI and swap inputs while using the KVM for the mouse and keyboard???? Nah, I better not try as this monitor has gone WAY up in price.
I can always use this as an excuse to get a NEW VGA card for the secondary machine, but I hate to spend any more money on a old tech AGP card in a machine that is a backup/test machine.
