Probl. Screen res in widescreen laptop with nvidia Geforce FX 5200


Hi: I have a toshiba laptop with Ndivida FX 5200. I tried to configure the screen resolution in the /etc/X11/XF86Config but I can only reach a max of 1024 x 768, since it has a widescreen display it looks "stretched", how can I get a 1200 x 800 resolution?

Here is The XF86Config file: I'm also having problems with the touchpad which behaves randomly

# XFree86 4 configuration created by pyxf86config

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "AlwaysCore"
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.

RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
FontPath "unix/:7100"

Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
Load "fbdevhw"

Section "InputDevice"
# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"

# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"

The only problem that I see here is the fact that you actually posted this thread instead of using one of the dozen other completely identical threads already in progress.

Look up in the corner of the screen. See that little button labeled "SEACH", up there, in the second row of buttons?
How about using it ato pull up the answers that have been given 10 times over, or are still being worked on, instead of reposting the same topics every month...
