Hi All,
Just got my first mac. Logged into my account for the first time since I registered in 2008, heh.
I have a Dell U3011. I also have a HDMI cable (which the Apple store gave me
) and a DVI -> Thunderbolt connection.
Both only give me 1920x1600. Which is okay. But my monitor supports 2560x1600. Both with Ubuntu and Mac the option is the same (limited to 1920). I read somewhere on the internet that people have got higher external resolution using Windows. I might give this a try.
On Ubuntu I was able to use xrandr and force the thunderbolt to 2560x1600. It did work, but the text looked horrible. If I try and do the same with HDMI, it just goes black. I have not tried SwitchResX yet. But I'm not planning to use Mac OS X.
Is there anyway I can get 2560x1600 on my u3011 with HDMI or Thunderbolt? (hopefully HDMI).
Thanks
