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 -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix // // note this works OR xorg work *without* any configuration file at all // Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" ###Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 Screen "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" EndSection Section "Module" Load "extmod" Load "glx" Load "dri" Load "dbe" Load "record" Load "xtrap" Load "type1" Load "freetype" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" EndSection ###Section "Screen" ###Identifier "Screen0" ###Device "Card0" ###Monitor "Monitor0" ###DefaultDepth 8 ###SubSection "Display" ###Viewport 0 0 ###Depth 8 ###Modes "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" ###EndSubSection ###EndSection Section "Monitor" #DisplaySize 360 270 # mm Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "HTC" ModelName "CM751" ### Uncomment if you don't want to default to DDC: HorizSync 30.0 - 94.0 # HorizSync 0.0 - 0.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: : integer, : float, : "True"/"False", ### : "String", : " Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "accel" # [] #Option "crt_display" # [] #Option "composite_sync" # [] #Option "hw_cursor" # [] #Option "linear" # [] #Option "mmio_cache" # [] #Option "test_mmio_cache" # [] #Option "panel_display" # [] #Option "probe_clocks" # [] #Option "reference_clock" # #Option "shadow_fb" # [] #Option "sw_cursor" # [] Identifier "Card0" Driver "ati" VendorName "ATI" BoardName "3D Rage Pro AGP 1X/2X" ChipSet "ati" ChipId 0x4742 ChipRev 0x5c BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 1 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 4 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 8 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 15 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 16 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection
