New LDC Display with 1440 x 900 resolution?
in [Linux Hardware]
|
From: Markus on 4 Jan 2006 10:20 Hi, I purchased a new LCD with a resolution of 1440 x 900. Before, I had an old monitor with a lower resolution. What exactly do I need to change in order to get the new resolution on my linux platform? I ran the display setup (system-config-display) and was able to choose a LCD Panel 1440x900 as display. With this setting, I can choose either 1280 x 1024 or 1440 x 1050 but I can not choose the 1440x900 resolution. Can I change this manually in a X-configuration file? Second, the gnome display setup (gnome-display-properties) alow me a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024). Where can I tell gnome about the 1440x900 resolution so that I can choose from? I run Fedora Core 2, the Graphics card is a ATI Radeon 9200SE, the Monitor is a Fujitsu Siemens Scaleoview W19-1 Thanks for your input, Markus ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =----

Make sure to set the vert and horiz freqs, and enter the resolutions you want for the default depth. Might need a modeline too.

Select a generic LCD panel with specs larger then what you want (1600x1200 for example) then manually add the resolution setting you want in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, example below; Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 16 Modes "1440x900" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1440x900" EndSubSection EndSection -- "A personal computer is called a personal computer because it's yours, Anything that runs on that computer, you should have control over."

If a modeline is needed the gtf program will help you to calculate the values of the modeline. Example of usage: prompt> gtf 1440 900 75 -x # 1440x900 @ 75.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 70.50 kHz; pclk: 136.49 MHz Modeline "1440x900_75.00" 136.49 1440 1536 1688 1936 900 901 904 940 -HSync +Vsync prompt> regards Henrik -- The address in the header is only to prevent spam.
