Title: how to get widescreen resolution on my voodoo3 ?
Post by raligula on 05.12.06 at 20:13:29

I have an old computer (intel 450mhz, voodoo3 2000 AGP) with the installed AmigaSport 3.0 drivers) which i only use to check e-mail (i don't play games on it), and it works great.

But just acquired a new 19" widescreen westinghouse LCD monitor, and everything looks slightly stretched. I found out that my video adapter (voodoo3) does not have the screen resolution setting necessary, 1280x768, to jibe with the widescreen aspect ratio.

Is there any way to remedy this?

Thnx

I think that's the same Problem as this one :

In short :
Custom / non-standard Resolutions for 3dfx Drivers have to be either hand-fed into the Driver .inf or manually achieved with Custom Resolution capable Utilities (like PowerStrip or equivalent)
