Hi bios gurus!

I have a P4S800MX-SE mb with the SIS661FX chipset. Following the instructions i flashed the bios with the modified one you provide and now I can see the 1600x900 resolution selection.

Although, whenever i choose it, the screen goes blank and an "out of range 74.5Khz/60hz" message appears on the screen (LG W2043T connected through VGA cable). I am using the 3.90 drivers version / Windows XP.

Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Hey cp,

Not sure if you are still a member of this forum but I'm also running into this problem (mainboard: asus ps4800-mx chipset: SiS661fx) I have installed the latest chipset driver with no success and even flashed the updated bios. Help me please..... I have a Compaq Q2009 20" LCD

I'm pretty much having the same issue obscured is having. It will display black, pink or purple. I know these colors has meanings to it but cant recall what the color codes are. please advice.

Hi

I have the same problem,I have Ps800-mx motherboard with sis66fx monitor adapter and I cant use a widescreen monitor with resolution of 1366x768
I saw that you have a solution for my problem in this forum
appreciate if you could send me the patch also to my mail
in case you can help and you need me to send you the cbrom file ,please guidemme how to create this file first

1366x768 doesn't work even with a patched bios. there are four options: go and blame SiS for their Windows drivers and wait for them to write a proper driver (which won't happen), buy a new rig, buy an add-on vga card (any recent ATI/AMD or NVidia will do) or just switch over to Linux as there's a 3rd party driver which can output (virtually) any resolution you want.

I feel it was long time ago, but how can I get this patch for the BIOS???
(I'm trying to setup a monitor (1440x900) on my friend's PC)
