I"m using the NBF MobileForce XP 174.31 driver with a Precision M6300 with a Quadro FX 1600M video card. The notebook is docked and using an external Dell 2005FPW monitor.

I went through the instructions to properly remove the old driver and installed the new, selecting typical settings along the install path. I'm having a problem with the resolution on my external display (the internal display is just fine).

For some reason the default resolution after installation (and maximum resolution that can be selected during installation) was 1280 x 1024 despite the native resolution being 1680 x 1050. If I change it to 1680 x 1050 then the desktop is larger then the monitor and moving my mouse beyond the visible borders moves the desktop to display the remaining portion of the desktop. There is also a small (maybe 1/4 inch) unused/black border at the top and bottom. If I leave it at 1280x1024 then the picture seems stretched horizontally and the additional top and bottom border is also apparent.

What am I doing wrong?
