Intel GMA 900 1440x900 Resolution Problem
I'm running Slackware 12.1 using Fluxbox window manager on a Gateway 3250S which uses an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 900 graphics processor. I use a ViewSonic 19" Widescreen monitor with an optimum resolution of 1440x900. I'm somewhat of a newbie, and I can't get 1440x900 resolution. I'm not sure what driver to use, or what to add/remove in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I've played with the file a little, but I still haven't figured it out.
Here is the output of lspci:

However, this results in 1600x1200 resolution, and I have to move my mouse to the edge of the screen to view more of the desktop.
Ubuntu automatically configures my monitor for 1440x900 resolution. Is there a way to see the drivers being used by Ubuntu so I can find them for Slackware?
I've tried to solve this for about a week now, to no success. Any suggestions or ideas would be much appreciated. :) |
