Geforce mx440 AGP8x both screens 1920x1080

Hello,

I have a 6 year old PC with a Nvidia Geforce MX440 AGP8x video card.

Now I've bought two Acer X243HQ screens with a native resolution of 1920x1080.
I hooked them up, one on the D-sub and one on the DVI port of the video card.

The one on the D-sub port is the primary screen, which displays 1920x1080 just fine.
The other one, on the DVI port does not.. It's maximum is 1440x900.

I find this quite annoying. Is this a limitation of my video card or is there a simple solution?

Thanks

Pieter

maybe the vcard just ran out of vram? not quite sure but i think that is the case when pumping up to higher res you need to have lotsa vram.

Thanks..

The weirdest thing.. When I connect the second screen using a VGA cable and a DVI2VGA adaptor, it does run on 1920x1080.
