@player:
Morphos supports even bigger resolutions w/o problems. MorphOS 1.4.x ModeEdit doesn't accept certain ranges you need to setup TFT compatible modes in higher resolutions AFAIK (or its just hell tricky todo so).
@mark:
you cannot compare CRT setup with TFT setup (seriously). TFTs have some limitations you need to know, which make no problems on a CRT.
There is also a big difference between Analog->TFT or DVI->TFT. Over DVI the PixelClock has a certain limit, so you cannot get it as high as you can increase it when you're using an analog cable to connect to your monitor. Keep that in mind.
I'm using following setup to connect my PEG over DVI to my EIZO S2110W (also 1680x1050).
Type: 24bit
Scan Mode: Normal
Pixel Clock: 146618900Hz
Horizontal Timing:
Resolution: 1680
Sync length: 576
Pulse Offset: 104
Pulse Length: 184
Polarity: Negative
Frequency: 64.9906 kHz
Vertical Timing:
Resoution: 1050
Sync length: 37
Pulse offset: 1
Pulse length: 3
Polarity: Negative
Frequency: 59.7889 Hz
This mode is not 100% the mode we want, but my display accept it just fine.
Another Tipp: prefer DVI over Analog to connect to your TFT. Use Analog only if you have problems to setup it over DVI and then switch. It's smart to make a few standard low resulution VESA 60Hz modes first (800x600 etc.) which you can use as fallback.
Hope this info helps. Good luck (you'll need it ;) !
