Intel Extreme Graphics 2 (Springdale i865G)

x86phre3x — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 02:06:47 +0800

I'm trying to run this old Dell Dimension 1100 as a media center. I hooked it up to my LCD TV with resolution 1366 x 768 via D-Sub. Unfortunately, the graphics driver unable to support this resolution, instead only giving me 1280 x 768 as the closest.

I have created a new monitor driver with PowerStrip and put max res as 1366 x 768 @ 60Hz, still it only maxed at 1280 x 768. As you know, Powerstrip don't support Intel graphics for the custom resolution feature. I tried running DTDCalculator on XP, it won't run. I'm out of idea.

The desktop looks fine with this res, but when watching movies, it's giving me black bar on top and bottom (I'm talking about 16:9 movies/tv shows). So for now, I have to use 1024 x 768 resolution and use Stretch Vertically to 16:9 presets in the Pan & Scan. Image quality = poor but at least i got correct sized pictures.

Some forum posts suggest to hack the INF file, unfortunately, my driver's INF do not have the line as indicated on the guide.

This mobo only have old PCI slot, thus buying a new graphics card is a very tricky method and I don't want to invest money on it.

If it helps, below is the spec:

- Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz
- 512MB DDR RAM
- Intel i865G (Springdale) integrated graphics (Intel Extreme Graphics 2)
- Panasonic TZ42LM80K 42" Full HD (1080p) LCD TV (Connection via D-Sub only supports 1366 x 768 @ 60Hz horizontal, 48KHz vertical)

K750i typing problem

x86phre3x — Fri, 24 Nov 2006 21:57:37 +0800

Hi all, I am having some difficulties on my K750i. The problem is it doesn't display the text correctly. Lets say I want to type the letter 'E', I have to press keypad '3' two times right? But when I pressed that button 2 times, it will not display 'E' but 'DD'. Take note that this is without the dictionary (T9). I have sent to SE authorized service center in Berjaya and Avenue K, but the problem is still there. What might cause this problem? Is it the firmware? I'm using the R1C, not the latest one since I can't update through SEUS. Should I try the FAR Manager? Do anyone of you have this kind of problem?

I just bought a K750i AP set for RM750 at one shop at Lowyat. When came back home, I did a check on the service info and found out the total call time is already 42hours. And when I checked in the net using my IMEI number, found out the date of issuance is around Q2 of 2005. What do I do guys?

UPDATE: The picture of the shop..
