Screen Resolution !!!

[zpro]

Well, it would appear that my screen resolution is not at 1280 x 1024,
the video card can display higher, but the LCD can only do 1280 x 1024 max @75hz.

How does one fix this problem?
using a Geforce2 MX400 & NEC LCD1700v


Thanks in Advance.

Re: Screen Resolution !!!

You could:

1) Edit xorg.conf file:

Backup first:
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_mybackup01

Edit:
sudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Find something like this:

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon 9600 XT (RV350 AR)"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 1
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 4
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

continues...

Put 1280x1024 in ->

Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

Remove those resolutions which you don't need.


2) Reconfigure xserver:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

asks lot of questions -> finally:

If there are some resolutions you would not like the X server to use even if your hardware is capable of them, remove them from the list below. Removing all of them is effectively the same as removing none, since in both cases the X server will attempt to use the highest possible resolution.


Select the video modes you would like the X server to use.

(reconfiguring makes backupfile: xorg.conf.20060724102828 -> year month day hour minutes seconds)
