Hi there!
I have a problem getting fluxbox to work with a screen resolution of 1600x1200.
I have a DELL Inspiron 8000 with a GeForce2 GO and the standard screen resolution is 1600x1200.
But I just doesn't work! I already tried to edit the XF86config file but if I start fluxbox with 1600x1200 it just doesn't accept 1600x1200 as a keyword!
xrandr -s 1600x1200 doesn't work too!

Does anyone know what to do? Or has this topic already been discussed on a forum? ( I didn't find anything that could help!)

Thx I A

What refresh rate are you using? If you're using a refresh rate the screen can't handle, it won't turn on.

(Just stabbing in the dark here, please post your XF86Config)
