DisplayConfigX gives you a wide range of resolutions and sets them to whatever your monitor supports (auto detected, if your monitor supports EDID 1.2). If you want 100Hz resolutions or if the default resolutions aren't enough, this is your tool. Provides pretty much arbitrary resolutions (depending on your hardware). Works with most decent vga monitors and graphic cards. Supports DVI monitors and HDTV style devices.
What's New
Version 1.0.9: Optionally keeps default resolutions.
Requirements
PPC, Mac OS X 10.2 or later, multi-scan monitor.

Then I remembered using this application to set an old CRT to a higher refresh rate years ago. I had to buy a new license because I no longer had access to that computer or email account, but it was worth it.
It's not completely straight forward to set up, but only because there are lots of options that are beyond my level of understanding, but I read the instructions on the website and only changed what I was sure I wanted to change -- I preserved the system resolutions and added one timing setting at 1920 x 1080, 60 hZ, not interlaced, without changing any thing else. It worked perfectly.
If you know your computer is capable of supporting your monitor's native resolution, but System Preferences won't allow you to do it, this program is worth a try.

It has been four years since the Intel switchover. Time to recompile for the current architecture. The OS doesn't even run on PowerPC anymore.

Basically start with a "known good" configuration and tweak it a bit and restart. If that's good repeat, else go back a step.

I wish it would work as this is an amazing app that I have used in the past w/ other computers.

I love this little utility.
i have a 12" G4 Powerbook and i use a 17" Dell P780 CRT.
there are many resolutions between 1024x768 and 1280x1024 that OSX doesn't give me. And many of them have really high refresh rates supported by my Dell CRT. So with this app i'm able to find that perfect resolution for my eyes - 1184x888 @ 91hz.

DisplayConfigX succeeded where SwitchresX failed, well worth the paltry $12.

The author claims "compatability with the new MacMini", however, I can not make it work with 1080i. I see others are having success with 1080i on other machines. When I add that resolution and restart, it does NOT show up in the menu (as 480p does show up). What am I doing wrong?
The software seems to be perfect, except I can't find value in it if it doesn't work on my setup. I'm happy to re-evaluate if i've done something wrong. Thanks.
