Hiya.

I Have apple snow installed with 2 monitors.

main: a 24 inch Dell monitor that leopard detects and displays on 1920x1200

secondary: a 19 inch Chimei monitor that supports resolution 1440x900 but leopard snow detects it as 1344x1008.

how can i force a 1400x900 resolution on my secondary monitor?

thanks
