fluxbox, slack-current resolution problem

Hi everybody!

I'm using slackware current with fluxbox and want to set my resolution to 1152x864 . I've installed my nvidia drivers and they works fine and I also added 1152x864 in my xorg.conf. I've heard of some commands like xorgconfig and xf86config but none of them works in my installation =(

Someone with any ideas of what to do? If so thanks in advance for replying!

What do you mean by not working?

:)

Resolution is determined by a few parameters inside the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

It has nothing to do with fluxbox. :)

Now,
You need to know the specification of your monitor. The specification you need to know is the Vertical and Horizontal Frequency which your monitor is capable of.

Example of snippit of /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Code:

Section "Monitor"

#DisplaySize      320  240    # mm

Identifier  "Monitor0"

VendorName  "Brand"

ModelName    "Model"

DisplaySize  325  243 #This is optional 

HorizSync    30-71  #This is important

VertRefresh  50-160 #This is important

#Option    "DPMS"

EndSection

You need to check your monitor's manual or specification online.
