Intel resolution - tips needed
Hi,
Ok, F12 has been installed, runs nice. Me? Happy. I am stuck @ 800x600, this resolution is too low for me. Doe I edit the xorg.conf to cater for higher resolutions? How do I proceed. Info can ben given, of course. So far, I run an Intel integrated card on an HP super slim system. A previous install (Solaris) thought the card was an Nvidia...128Mb... Tnx for some light in the dark. Thor |
Here is an <<edited>> portion of my xorg.conf file:
Code:
Section "Monitor" Please post the equivalent sections of your file.... |
Hi,
Thanks for the info, I tried some things, but still only get the same 800x600 resolution, my current xorg (it could hopefully help you help me...)... Quote:
In the console I popped to init 3, and than back to init 5 - I dont know if that is the right way to test... Tnx! Looking 4ward to the weekend BTW!! :D Thor |

The good news: Your settings are correct for that monitor The bad news: That monitor is hopelessly obsolete---If you value your eyesight, replace it. The absolute cheapest flat panel will be much better. According the the link, the monitor will only go to 1280x1024, so try that in the xorg file. Regardless, your current entry is incorrect---if the monitor would support it, you would enter 1600x1200, not what you have. PS: You could find a much larger used CRT really cheap...... |
Thanks!
About the monitor: you are sooooo right, but I recycled it for my server stack. Right now, that system is being prepped to become the primary system (F10 goes out) and the monitor to be used is (perhaps also not too new) an HP75, at least 17". So...here's a flash, why dont I hook up the PC to that monitor intead. But, good news all round, the settings are good, the monitor is (if I say so myself) ... crap. I never use it to actively look at anyway... Thanks! Have a great-great weekend - and a warm one. Here in belgium, we're getting snow, snow and ... more snow. Thanks! :D Thor |
Oh boy...
I hooked the PC up to the "final" CRT and got the splash at boot-up, then ...a black screen of nothing. I took the xorg.0conf away to force X to figure things out for itself, but it did'nt... More tweaking needed, I'm afraid... Thor |
