New drivers for GeForce FX 5200?

Hi!

I have the GeForce FX 5200 in my PowerMac G5 Dual and I have hooked it up to my Samsung LCD. The Samsung LCD have the resolution 1360x768 @ 60 Hz. Is it possible to get a driver for that resolution?

PowerMac G5 Dual, Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I got this mail from Nvidia support today. Seems like Apple is my only hope.

I understand that you are looking for the driver that supports 1360x768 resolution LCD monitor.
The GeForce FX 5200 supports 1360x768 resolution. However, you will have to customize the resolution.
NVIDIA produces GPU’s (i.e., video chips). We do not produce or sell video cards. For this reason, we cannot provide direct sales or technical support to Apple retail customers. Since Apple produces different cards and packages using our chips for the Macintosh platform, we recommend that you contact the Apple store for more specific information on video cards and the support they provide.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Regards,
NVIDIA Customer Care.

I'd recommend giving SwitchResX a try.
