Cant Set The Native Resolution!
I have a Xerox XM3-22wB 22" screen with a native resolution of 1680*1050 - ever since I took my PC apart the display was screwy, it started off outputting 1600*1200 thinking it was my native resolution, and only by enabling resolutions that the monitor may not support have I got 1680*1050 back in windows - now that I start LFS up the only options I have are all wrong and even forcing the right resolution through the CFG file haven't worked.

I've tried adding a custom resolution using the nVidia Control Panel but it just says "Test Failed" when I click "Ok".

What can I do? Are their any monitor drivers for my monitor?
Usually PnP monitors need drivers. They only need them if there are custom stuff involved. try Driver cleaner and start fresh install. I recommend getting the latest (177.89/177.83). You can find modded drivers from guru3d forums or usual places because .89 isn't supported in vista x86-64... yet. Same situation happened to me once With my 17" and 22" in dual view and 17" one can't be set the native because the driver screwed up.

Try the drivers that came with your card - they will work 100%.
If not then there is either something wrong with your OS installation
or with your GFX card.

I found out why this was happening...

NOTICE!! never try an play lfs before installing service pack 2!!!

As i said above,i tryed to install graphics drivers an could not get above 800x600 on 4 bit coulor display.Because the xp drivers that come with service pack1 for windows is the problem!!!
