Do you have installed drivers to your graphic card? if yes therer should be no problem. Check
| Code: |
cat /proc/fb0/modes |
for supported modes ( I don't know if this is correct)
@Niskel you are right 
for me it looks:
| Code: |
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "** NVIDIA (generic) [nv]"
Monitor "My Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "NoLogo" "true"
Option "backingstore" "true"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
#VideoRam 131072
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 8
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

didn't do the trick...i don't know if the VGA card has something to do with the supported resolution...it's an old Viper Z200 32MB which i'm pretty sure it does support at least 1024x768 as far as i can remember since the time i used Windows on this machine...i didn't find any specific drivers for the card hence i have this in my xorg.conf | Code: | Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "savage"
VendorName "S3 Inc."
BoardName "86C410 Savage 2000"
ChipSet "Savage2000"
VideoRam 32768
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection |
if i'm supposed to do something else please give me advice...thanks... |

| maybe the DisplaySize has something to do with the supported resolution aswell?? because i was using a smaller screen 14'' and now i am using a 17''...do i have to change something to support the resolution of my likings?? i have also heard something about "Modelines"...what exactly does it do and does it have any affect on the supported resolution?? thanks... |

| ok taking a look at Xorg.0.log was really helpful...the hsync and vsync were out of range...i corrected that according to the new screen i am using at the moment and i can have the resolution of my likings...i also took a look about "Modelines" and i understood that it is used to have the refresh rate you are supposed to get at a specific resolution if for some reason the X-Server doesn't configure it right...thanks to both of you for your help...really appreciate it... |
