Inspiron 6000 WUXGA 15.4
 
I have Ubuntu Edgy and 915resolution installed on my machine.

I am trying to get my video resolution to display 1920 x 1200 that it is capable of.

Here are the available modes I found using the 915resolution-l command:

**********************************************************

Even though I have 1900 x 1200 listed in the xorg.conf, it doesn't work.

What do I have to do to get this to work properly?

I have found all kinds of info about this.....but nothing that tells me EXACTLY what I need to do.
I am kinda new to this.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Run

Code:

/usr/sbin/915resolution 68
before you start the X-server. You can write this line into your init-scripts to be there after a reboot.

Fluxx.

Editing init scripts for screen resolution
 
How exactly would I do that?

Where would I out it....I am slightly a noob at this.

Thanx.

Correct screen resolution worth $50 to me
 
I have messed around with this for way too long.

I have already lost my xorg.conf file several times and now I am in the middle of reinstalling from scratch.

The first person that can explain to me how to get the following screen resolutions on my inspiron 6000 laptop with the 915 chipset....I will pay $50 via PayPal.

"1920x1200" "1680x1050" "1440x900" "1280x800"

I am trying to get these resolutions working.


Thank You for your help in advance.
