"What is your desktop Resolution?"[list=a]
a. Above 1024 x 768
b. 1024 x 768
c. 800 x 600
d. Below 800 x 600[/list=a]

The first one is for monitors with the standard resolutions above 1024 x 768, mostly applicable for 17" onwards monitors....

The last one is simply kept....just in remote cases...any one using...a low resolution (due to missing graphics driver ;-) )

Please poll..

1024x768 17" LCD on my desktop

1280x800 15.4" Widescreen on my laptop

1280 x 1024 on my IIyama Vision Master Pro 452 (19")

1024 x 768 on my crappy LG Flatron F900P (19" CRT)

How good is GNU/Linux for using with LCD monitors?

Just as good as it is for Windows or Mac. I have an LCD and I am sure several other people do.



I use 1280x1024 for a 17" Nec LCD monitor. When I had a 19" I went like 1600x1400.

1280*1024 on a 15' screen. Why are high resolutions only for large screens? Everything looks huge on 1024*768

My mom's new Suse system runs on a 19" Acer LCD. It is fscking beautiful!! I come back to my house with my wimpy Sony G420 CRT 20" and I think to myself...only $300....only $300...


To answer the questions, the new X.org drivers work really well. I have had no issues with my system (ATI 7500) or my mom's (Nvidia GX5200).

I use 1280x800 on a 13.3 inch laptop screen.

1024x768 on a 15" LCD.

800x600 on my little machine hooked up to the tv;)

It's so much nicer (brighter & eaisier on the eyes) than my old CRT.

Tried 1024 x 768 but it was just too large.

800x600 on my secondary 14" CRT screen (2nd computer).
