Why doesn't this option appear? I have a dual 800 with a Radeon 9000. Lowest I can set it is 800x600. Any ideas, or can I just not do it?

I run mine at 640x480... no idea why it isn't an option for you though.

Maybe you have some other setting turned on/up where it isn't allowed at that low of a resolution? I have ALL the settings at their absolute lowest....

I have everything on the lowest, too. Nothing special going on. There's just no option to select 640x480.

I can play other games at this res without a problem, as well as the Finder. This is really weird. I had this problem when I had a GF3 and the same monitor. When I installed and first launched the game, it would start in 640x480 and start to play, but if I changed the res just once, 640x480 would forever disappear as an option. Same thing now, after a fresh install and the same setup (though with a 9000 now).

17" ADC CRT by the way.
