Problem with monitor resolution!!!
Hello,
I am having trouble with my
S3 UniChrome Pro video card, the problem is my resolution, the default for this card is 800x600 but, I want to put it on 1024x768 that is the max, but, once I manage to do it when I restart it goes back to 800x600 and I want to be on 1024x768 for ever please help!!!, I am using Uubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat, please help!!
I install the drivers installing the following:
Code:
sudo apt-get install subversion build-essential automake1.9 libtool pkg-config xserver-xorg-dev libxvmc-dev x11proto-gl-dev libglu1-mesa-dev x11proto-core-dev libxvmc-dev xserver-xorg-dev x11proto-gl-dev libgl1-mesa-dev cvs
Then this is my xorg.conf:
Code:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Wide Screen"
Device "S3 UniChrome Pro"
Monitor "M190"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "MonitorLayout" "TFT"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubSection
EndSection
when I put glxgears I get the following
Code:
7812 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1561.979 FPS
9162 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1832.316 FPS
16757 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3350.341 FPS
17252 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3450.300 FPS
8502 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1700.322 FPS
glxinfo | grep render
