 Posted: Sat Feb 09, 2008 7:33 pm Post subject: X defaulting to undesirable resolution, problem w/ modeline? |
 |
|
Hello all - I have a fresh X11 with Gnome installation that seems to be ignoring my Modeline in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I'm trying to get a 1680x1050 @ 60 Hz resolution but X seems stuck with 1400x1050. Is my modeline at fault for X or Gnome defaulting to the lower resolution? Can I tweak my xorg.conf file to achieve the 1680x1050@60 resolution I crave?
I have the (open source) radeon driver running on an ATI All-in-wonder 8500 AGP card on my computer.
I used
http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/
to generate my modeline.
Here are the relevant lines of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf
| Code: |
Section "Monitor"
#DisplaySize 470 300 # mm

VendorName "HWP"
ModelName "HP w2207"
### Comment all HorizSync and VertRefresh values to use DDC:
HorizSync 24.0 - 82.0
VertRefresh 48.0 - 76.0
### Modeline "1680x1050" 154.20 1680 1712 2296 2328 1050 1071 1081 1103

Also worth noting:
(1) I have the radeon framebuffer enabled. My console (text only, no X or Gnome running) appears to be running at 1680@1050 which leads me to believe I have to tweak X to get X to operate at 1680x1050 resolution.
(2) Windows can drive the monitor with 1680x1050@60 Hz resolution with no sweat.
These lead me to believe that I need to change something in my X configuration to get the resolution I want. Any ideas? |
