For some reason 7068 won't let me set my screen resolution above 1600 x 1200. It's not necessarily a deal breaker but is rather annoying as I'm quite fond of my 1920 x 1200. Anyone else have this issue or have an idea of how to fix it?

If you did a clean install you will need to upgrade your driver same as if you upgraded your system it wipes the driver from your system.
I did a clean install of 7057 and 7000 as well, neither of them caused the issue. Device Manager says I have a "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" instead of a Mobility x1400.

Realized why it only did it on 7068, when installing the OS I'd told it I'd select Windows Update options later, after telling it to install updates and rebooting it recognized my video card.
