i just got a new laptop and its got a 17" widescreen display. i justy put gentoo on here and the screen is a 1920x1200 display but that isnt what shows when i go to screen resolution in gnome it says its at 1440 X1050. I thought lcd screens could only do 1 resolution. is it really at 1920x1200 and gnome is just reporting it wrong? how can i tell what the real resolution is and if its not right how can i set it to what it should be. i added 1920x1200 in xorg.conf and it still doesnt show in the screen resolution display.
It is pretty easy to tell what is the correct resolution on an LCD. Is it clear and sharp .. if so, then you have the right resultion. If not, keep trying!
