Resolution problems (Geforce 5200 Go and HDTV)

Hardware and software info:

Dell Inspiron 5150 (GeForce 5200 Go)
Samsung HDTV (1360x768 60Hz, using VGA/D-Sub connection)
Windows XP Home SP2
Latest bios and graphic driver from Dell.

Problem description:
Only the following resolutions are accessible (for the external display when the Samsung TV is connected):

800x600
1024x768
1280x1024

Tried to manually enable the resolution using PowerStrip, but this did not work. PowerStrip tells me that the display and/or graphic card does not support the new resolutions (848x480, 1280x720, 1360x768 and so on). I tried to create a monitor driver using PowerStrip, but that didn’t help.

When connected to a Dell 2405FPW the computer is able to display “every” resolution from 800x600 to 1920x1200, Windows even lets me select resolutions above 1920x1200 (not supported by monitor).

Does anyone know of a way to force Windows/graphic driver to display 1360x768 on the HDTV?
 
1. There is no ”Custom resolution” option in the dell drivers for the GeForce 5200 Go.
Standard ForceWare drivers do not work with the 5200 Go.

2. Did you read the entire post before replying?
