I am running Slackware 10.1. I just got a new monitor, and am trying to change the default screen res. I went in and edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and put in the new horizontal and vertical refresh rates, and added the new, "1280x1024" to the Modes line for each defined Display subsection. I have restarted the machine, several times by now. When I pull up KDE Control Center, the maximum screen res is the old 1024x768. Running the command xdpyinfo shows the same. ----- The following two pieces are from the modified xorg.conf. I changed the 'Modes' line on all the Display subsections. Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 1 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection Section "Monitor" #DisplaySize 320 240 # mm Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Acer" ModelName "AL1914b" Option "DPMS" HorizSync 24-80 VertRefresh 49-75 EndSection --------- I left the rest of xorg.conf the same. Can someone tell me what I'm missing? Thanks, Charlie O -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
