[abandoned]Widescreen support?

Re: Widescreen support?

I (personally) would rerun the xserver reconfiguration, but answer 'no' to autodetect and then pick from the list. If your specific card isn't in the list, then choose VESA or Super VGA (if that is listed) and then procede to pick the resolutions that you know your monitor is capable of displaying.

Tried that already, by manual edits, and redid it now with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.
It dows not work, - there are no widesccreen resolutions, non-widescreen ones are stretched,

When I tried to manually add modelines for widescreen resolutions, modes did appear, but display became completely mixed up, when I selected them. (not tries that yet with dpkg-reconfigured file,)

Re: Widescreen support?

ok, tried that with generated file, - resolution did not appear. (modeline added manually, evewrything else is as generated with VESA driver selected.)

xorg.conf:

# xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Re: [abandoned]Widescreen support?

Well, I finally have got all my resolutions back by upgrading to Hardy. Works fine so far.

P.S. Istill don't like words "alpha" and "OS" together...
