6. Edit the Mode Values section of the dialog box to create the 

mode you want.

7. Click Test.

The Display Resolution dialog box appears. The system is 
about to test the customized resolution.

8. Click OK to test the mode, or Cancel to halt testing.

Settings tab.

A message appears, indicating that the new mode is about to 
be tested.

9. Click OK.

10. Click Save Mode -> OK to save the mode. 

If your edits result in a new mode (that is, the X, Y, BPP, and 
refresh rate is not already included in the configuration file),

file.

Do not test custom modes with the primary display or 
any sister devices attached to the primary display.

You must test a mode before you can save it.
