Screen Resolution
 
Hi, I just installed MEPIS and I can't seem to get my screen resolution to change. It's stuck at 640*480. I've been trying all night. I'm new to LINUX so please forgive me. I have read about the XF86Config-4 file and have tried serveral different things (deleted 640*480 from file, changed HorizSync, etc.) which didn't do anything...

Here's my file

Code:

Section "ServerLayout"

  Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
  InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
  InputDevice "PS/2 Mouse" "CorePointer"
 #InputDevice "USB Mouse" "CorePointer"
 #InputDevice "Serial Mouse" "CorePointer"

I'm running a Dell Dimension 2400 computer with a 19' Planar LCD screen.

Thanks in advanced...

Hi, thanks for the reply...

I have a IntelR Extreme Graphics Controller... I believe it's a integrated graphics card..

Thanks,
Andrew
