Subject: Screen resolution on FreeBSD 7.0
To: freebsd-question@freebsd.org
Hello,
I just installed FreeBSD 7.0 on a Dell Inspirion 640m notebook and am
trying to get the screen resolution right. 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

Load "dbe"
Load "dri"
Load "extmod"
Load "glx"
Load "record"
Load "xtrap"

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?
Thanks,
Nishita.
