X troubles
 

Hey all...

I am having trouble configuring X. I am using KDE. The video card I am using is an old 3DFX Voodoo 3 16 MB card. For some reason I am unable to get a resolution of 1024x768. The option is displayed in the X config area of KDE but it wont stay there. When I restart it goes right back to 800x600. I noticed that when I go to make the changes it always gives me the option of using XFree86 3.somthing, XFree86 4.5 (I believe) and XFree86 4.5 with 3D acceleration. I have tried all three of these and nothing changes. I am sorry I cant give you the exact versions for the XFre86. At this point I messed around with it so much that when I boot into KDE I get a blank black screen. How can I configure this manually so I can atleast boot into KDE again and then after that how can I get it to display 1024x768??

Thanks for the help!

Try using the xf86config command to atleast boot your box to kde....

Then to make the default display to 1024x768 you have to edit the ' XF86Config ' file manually.

Under the screen sections if your using DefaultDepth 16

you should edit the line under:

Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "640x480" "800x600"
ViewPort 0 0


What ever is the first resolution in the Modes line will be the default resolution....

Hope this helps....
