Multiple display resolutions

[aussenboarder]

Hello.

 

I wonder if it is possible to add more entries into the list of screen resolutions under System Preferences / Display.

My installation runs in VMware and therefore I would like to use the full resolution of my notebook which is 1440x900.

On the other hand I often use my external screen which runs on 1280x1024.

 

Though, none of the resolutions is listed - only the default which is 1024x768 in my case.

 

I already read about /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist - since it creates a permanent setting and does not accept multiple values - I can not follow this idea.

 

Further, I read about DisplayConfigX - I don't have my network set up to register the application.

Moreover, I would prefer a free solution.

 

I appreciate your advices.

Cheers, aussenboarder
