hi!
i got the the new alu-macbook yesterday and it's awesome! :)
but onto my problem now...
i have a HDTV which native resolution is 1360*768 and i have the VGA adapter for the macbook. under OSX i managed to get the macbook to output the right resolution via switchresX (why do i have to get an extra program to support a resolution anyway? way to go apple...).

but under bootcamp XP i get the problem that while i can choose the right resolution in the nvidia control panel, only a little window in which i can scroll around is displayed on my TV... hard to describe. i played around with the custom resolution-thingy in the control panel, but somehow everything is ****ed up now. all the other resolutions for the external display are gone and no matter which resolution i choose, it's always 640*480 or something. i played around with the scaling options as well, but no luck.

anyone managed to get the 9400m to display 1360*768 under XP via VGA adapter?
