1920x1200 resolution, how to?

Hi DisplayLink team!

I just got myself a 1920x1200 DELL monitor and now I can't select that resolution on my monitor that uses the display link (a deltaco usb-dvi1 rev 3). I am using the latest MacBook Pro and Mac OS X Snow leopard.

I read the thread about the 1.7b and I installed it but still no 1920x1200. You mentioned that we should look for a device that states it supports this resolution on:

but no such devices exists? I have a Deltaco USB-DVI1 (Rev 3) that should use the DL-195 chip. Do you think this should work? Have anyone successfully used a 1920x1200 display together with the latest MBP? What products did you use in that case?

Thank you!

I'll answer my own question :)

After further research it seems my usb to dvi converter was the one that supports lower resolutions (many say 1600x1200, but it still support 1920x1080). I bought another version which supported up to 2048x1152. I used the latest driver version (1.7, not beta) and it just worked!

So apparently the first version didn't use the latest chip but the new version did.
