Even if both monitors are running at 75 Hz, they won't match exactly, which can cause problems with vsync. Try disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox.
Disabling hardware acceleration fixed it, back to smooth scrolling, thanks!

RE: Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)
Hi Toasty,

Just adding to the long list of people thank you for all your awesome work.

I also thought I would post to help any future users wanting to set up a Dell U2913WM with a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT.

In order to get it to recognize the 2560x1080 resolution, I created a profile without any other resolutions appart from 2 detailed resolutions:

Active: 2560x1080
Front Porch: 48x3
Sync Width: 32x10
Back Porch: 80x18
Blanking: 160x31
Total: 2720x1111

Refresh rate: 53.105 Hz
Not interlaced

And

Active: 2560x1080
Front Porch: 48x3
Sync Width: 32x10
Back Porch: 80x15
Blanking: 160x28
Total: 2720x1108

Refresh rate: 53.249 Hz
Not interlaced

Include extension block is unchecked.

Cheers,

Marcio

RE: Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)
Hi experts.
When I run CRU, add resolution and reboot I loose the sound through HDMI connection.

If I run "reset-all" and reboot - the sound is back.

Is there any way to have both - the resolution that I need and the sound?
Thanks in advance.

You need to leave the extension block enabled, or import the hdmi-audio.dat file:

RE: Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)
I used this program to make 1280x1024 from 75hz to 85hz and i restarted and it said out of range Sad i had to run in safe mode to fix it.So my question is:
Can this program be used to increase my hz(the resolution doesn't matter)?

Thanks for your reply. So it's either leave the extension block enabled or import the file? And how do I import this file?
Also just to make sure. Do I need to check the box "Include extension block" for both - monitor and TV?
One more question. Te field "Standard resolutions" is empty (no standard resolutions). Do I need to add something there? (clickable image)

Thanks again.

Edit: I was trying to play with it again. Unfortunately nothing works. Please take a look at the 1 min. video that I compiled out of three (could not capture reboots Wink) and tell me what am I doing wrong and how to make it work.

It's probably unreleated with your utility, but I'll give a shot. I managed to open that app, but I don't have "Advanced mode", which means that I am only able to change width, height and frequency, have you heard of any solution to this?

Yes, but only if your monitor supports the refresh rate.

Audio support is defined in the extension block, so it has to be enabled either way. What I meant was you have to either use the display's default extension block or import one with audio support. Use the "Import..." button at the bottom-left corner to import the file.

You didn't mention what video card you have. NVIDIA won't add the custom resolutions if you try to use the default extension block, so you'd have to import the hdmi-audio.dat file. AMD/ATI can use the default extension block, or you can import the hdmi-audio.dat to override it. You only need to do this for the display that needs HDMI audio.

If that doesn't work, then it might be a driver bug. Check if restarting the video driver restores audio: restart.zip

No idea. Try the latest driver if you haven't already. What happens if you try to add the resolution without advanced mode?
