    Hey everyone,

    Been looking around and from what I remember, I thought the max resolution for the m11x was 1333x768 or something like that.

    How come this is the highest I can reach?

    Sorry if the pic is too big..

    Edit: Problem solved. Thanks :)

    It doesn't look like you installed your vid drivers properly.

    It seems like it thinks you're plugged into an external monitor. If you have your Intel HD Graphics drivers installed, Right click on your desktop, and click "Graphics Properties." Make sure it's set to "Built-in Display," if it is not and you don't have that as an option then I don't know what is going on here, if there's nothing plugged in to your display output ports (HDMI and DisplayPort, and/or VGA if you have an R1) and you have installed the correct drivers, there should definitely be an option for 1366 x 768.

    Also, note that 1366 x 768 is the max res of the built in display, you can output I think up to 2560 x 1600 (if your external monitor supports it), if not 1080p I know for sure will work.

    Edit: Sorry didn't see you fixed the problem already...

    For anyone else who has the problem, switch graphics. I thought the same thing until I hit Fn and F6 and then Windows 7 installed the graphic driver for the Nvidia card.

    Be sure to install the proper drivers, sounds like you don't have any drivers.
