17" Apple Studio Display LCD w/ OS 9 resolution

A friend just gave me an Apple 17" LCD Studio Display. It doesn't have any controls on it, no buttons except power. It was bought with new with a Dual Core 1000MHz G4.

I don't have any software disks that may have come with it.

I use OSX 10.4.11 almost all the time, and I can set the resolution via the Displays System Preference panel - I get all the resolution display choices.

But I still use OS 9 for a few programs, and in OS 9.2.2 only the 1280 x 960 (maximum) resolution choice us available in the Monitors Control Pane or Control Strip. It's a bit small and I wish I could make it 1024 x 768.

Does anybody know if this is resolvable?

I'm in the same dilemma, except I need 1440x900 - I'm wondering if there's a maximum resolution Os9 can support? I can't find information about it anywhere.

I'll let you know if I find anything on that resolution.

I end up with two screens running at different resolutions - so when you drag or extend something across two screens it ends up being two different sizes. It's wacky.

The only hope I think I have is to find a copy of the original install disk that came with the monitor, and hopefully that will give me more monitor resolution options in OS 9.
