Does GDM and GNOME have different resolution settings?
Hi,
Recently I noticed a strange thing on my Debian 4.0 system (2.6.24 kernel) running GNOME/GDM on my Intel 855 GME graphics card (i80 driver). My "Screen" section of xorg.conf file originally looked like this: Code:
Section "Screen" SO I removed the resoltuion "1280x768" from my xorg.conf file and now it looked like this: Code:
Section "Screen" Can somebody tell me what's going on? Is there any separate conf file for GDM in which we need to specify resolutions for GDM? Thanks |
The [gkx]dm login screen takes the leftmost modeline resolution from xorg.conf. If you want a specific resolution for gdm, put it in the beginning of the line, so you might have for instance:
"1024x768" "1280x768" "800x600" "640x480" That makes gdm use 1024x768 but would let you choose 1280x768 with a suitable sync rate for the desktop. |

Have you a different resolution under gnome? Check with "xrandr" from a terminal while in gnome.
Also you can lower the default depth by changing this: Code:
Section "Screen" Code:
Section "Screen" |
