if i were to install gentoo on a laptop which screen settings would be appropriate?
I allready have 1 red pixel in my screen.
In windows Xp I'm on 1024 * 768 by 32 bit colors
thats the absolute max the screen can handle.
yes it's a crappy display i know _________________ "Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." - Kristian Wilson, Nintendo VP, 1989 |

that display isn't that crappy
anyway - here is how I have configured my refreshrates on my laptop:
Code: | Section "Monitor"
Identifier "My Monitor"
HorizSync 31.5 - 48.5
VertRefresh 50-70
EndSection
|
this gives me 1024x768 @ 60-70 Hz (I don't know really, but it works fine on every lcd I have) _________________ Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes. |

In my defence:
My previous laptop was an Armada p3 1.0Ghz and it had an "enlarged" display. The display wasn't the size of the laptop but it was bigger and (affcource) came as an option when buying the laptop. It supported 1280 by 1024 or something like that. Maybe even higher... I don't remember
Anyway thanx for the advice. I will probbably test it this weekend (as soon as I get my [censored]...[/censored] Radeon 9800 working on 3d) _________________ "Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." - Kristian Wilson, Nintendo VP, 1989 |
