XFree 86
 

I just installed Slackware 9 (or was it 9.1) on my recently acquired Dell Latitude CPi-D266XT. When I started X for the first time I got what I think was an 800x600 screen centered in the middle of my display (meaning it didn't take up the entire display). So I went about changing things and attempting to get it up to 1024x768, however when I finally got this it looked really bad. Like the fonts were messed up or something, or it was actually 800x600 but it was stretched to fit 1024x768. Anyway I would like to know if anyone has any experience with getting this particular laptop to run X correctly, and I would like to know what you did to get it that way.

Thanks,

I found the following here: http://datamining.csiro.au/linux/dlcpid300xt.html
For the Latitude CPi-D Series of Dell laptops this will work for your XF86config file.
Here is the code if you are lazy:
