I need a 1280x800 wide-screen resolution and according to the Handbook, I should be able to do that by modifying the xorg.conf. I also have Ubuntu running a nice resolution on the other partition (slice) so I used the "Screen" section of it's xorg.conf to make the changes Here is the xorg.conf file: ------ Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/local/share/X11/rgb" ModulePath "/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/OTF" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" EndSection Section "Module" Load "GLcore" Load "dbe" Load "dri" Load "extmod" Load "glx" Load "record" Load "xtrap" Load "freetype" Load "type1" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" EndSection Section "Monitor" #DisplaySize 300 190 # mm Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "QDS" ModelName "47" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "i810" VendorName "Intel Corporation" BoardName "Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1280x800" EndSubSection EndSection ---- I also found this in /var/log/Xorg.0.log (II) I810(0): Monitor0: Using hsync range of 45.71-50.53 kHz (II) I810(0): Monitor0: Using vrefresh value of 60.00 Hz (II) I810(0): Not using mode "1280x800" (no mode of this name) (--) I810(0): Virtual size is 1024x768 (pitch 1024) (**) I810(0): Built-in mode "1024x768" Can anyone help?
