People,
One of my larger servers has 5.3 and Xorg; I can't find the
right configuration setting for the display; so it runs at
its maximum: 1600x1200. This would be fine except that the
apps shake with tiny wavy lines. The driver may be pushing
things to their limit.
I've tried X -configure and Xorg -conf. Somehow or other
I've generated an xorg.conf in /etc/X11, but no luck in
changing the resolution. The closest I've come to having
things work with xorg.conf and startx is to see a blank/grey
screen--at 1600x1200. I have ctwm set up in /root and
/home/kline.
Modifying the Screen Section messes things up for some
reason. I finally *do* have xorg working with /etc/X11/xorg.conf
but only with the following commented:
###Section "Screen"
###Identifier "Screen0"
###Device "Card0"
###Monitor "Monitor0"
###DefaultDepth 8
###SubSection "Display"
###Viewport 0 0
###Depth 8
###Modes "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x60
0" "640x480"
###EndSubSection
###EndSection
I'll append my current xorg.conf file and hope that somebody can
tell me how to tweak it so that my max-resolution is
1280x1024 rather than 1600x1200.
thanks in advance,
gary
