From: CrasY on 13 Oct 2005 04:03 Hi! Got this display adapter: Mobil Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family and in linux i can only get 1024x768 resolution. In windows i get 1280x800, and i wonder how i can get the same resolution in linux? I have tried to edit my xorg.conf, but no help. If i go higher than 1024x768 i get 800x600. Thanks in advance Message posted via: ===================== www.linuxpackages.net/forum www.linuxpackages.net Expanding the world of Slackware =====================

If you do not know what to put run xorgcfg. Olive

I have a similar chipset (Intel mobile 855G), and that's all I needed. At your own risk, you can try mine: Section "Monitor" #DisplaySize 330 210 # mm Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "LPL" ModelName "0" Modeline "1280x800(a)60" 83.91 1280 1312 1624 1656 800 816 824 841 EndSection Wayne

Check out /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if you can find any explanation why it refuses to give you 1024x768. regards Henrik -- The address in the header is only to prevent spam.
