howto configure monitor (hp w2207) in X
Hi,
I'm running CentOS 4.*. I have an HP w2207. I tried playing around with xorg.conf to set the proper Vert/Horz syncs and resolutions, but everytime I start up X my monitor tells me the resolution isn't correct, and my screen just doesn't look like it's at the right resolution. The text is fuzzy and such. Here is my xorg.conf. Thanks for any help! # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" # RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the # file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally # no need to change the default. # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together) # By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of # the X server to render fonts.

Try to figure out exactly what resolution X is running at. If it is attempting the correct resolution, look into modelines in xorg for manually telling X what frequencies to use for a certain resolution.

I find that X is usually very good at configuring itself.
Code:
# X -configure |
