1152x864 in Fedora

hey

I am using FC3 and KDE as my Desktop manager

I want to work under 1152x864 resolution.I tried to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf .I added

1152x864 to the existing resolutions which made the line as

From xorg.conf
Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

And when i right click on the desktop and choose 'Configure Desktop' and under 'display' tab

i am not able to see the screen size as 1152x864.It only shows the other three.

Ne idea how it works ?

Thanx :)

You could try
Ctrl+Alt+Num_+ or
Ctrl+Alt+Num_-
(Num_ means on the numeric part of the keyboard)
Don't know if it works for KDE, but worth trying anyway.

By doing

<CTRL><ALT><+>
<CTRL><ALT><->

It seems to switch to 640X480 :(

ne more ideas ?

Thanx for replying :)

Could you post you're xorg.conf?

xorg.conf

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database.  Note, this is the name of the 

# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db").  There is normally

# no need to change the default.



# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)

# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of

# the X server to render fonts.

# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.

#        Option        "XkbDisable"



# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the

# lines below (which are the defaults).  For example, for a non-U.S.

# keyboard, you will probably want to use:

#        Option        "XkbModel"        "pc102"

# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:

#        Option        "XkbModel"        "microsoft"

#

# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.

# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:

#        Option        "XkbLayout"        "de"

# or:

#        Option        "XkbLayout"        "de"

#        Option        "XkbVariant"        "nodeadkeys"

I added 1152x864 to the Modes already there

I run that exact resolution... Here is a sample of my xorg.conf file.

Section "Screen"
Identifier "screen1"
Device "device1"
Monitor "monitor1"
DefaultColorDepth 24

Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Virtual 1152 864
EndSubsection
EndSection

Curious? How much V-ram on that card? do you really want to run a default color depth 16...

Hope this helps a little.

hey

I have edited my xorg.conf

but after i killed the Xserver and restarted it.It ended with a screen showing

Xserver cannot be loaded.I had overwritten my xorg.conf to login back .

ne more ideas ??

I, too, have that "i810" card and it seems as it can't handle 1152x864!
Pretty strange, but that resolution hasn't worked in any distro tried on this computer.

I solved the problem myself

Edited the Modes line

Modes "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

and then

system-config-display

u can choose required resolution

Restart X-server :)
