The setup program was not using the correct information for the monitor, so I had to manually set the monitor in the configuration to a generic 1280x1024 monitor before setting the resulation, or it would be stuck at 800x600 instead of 1280x1024. I had the problem with both the analog and digit connections to the monitor. I have not checked to see if your monitor is one of hte listed monitors. My monitor was not listed.
