Hello all,
I've recently installed Slackware for the first time. In fact it's my first time with Linux - period.
I got KDE up and running, installed the nVidia drivers and got ALSA working with my Soundblaster Live. So as a n00b, I'm feeling pretty proud of myself thus far, lol.
However, one thing I can't get working so far is my screen settings. In my xconfig file, I setup a screen called Screen AGP that has settings for higher resolutions past 1024x768, but whenever I go to up the resolution in the Screen section of the Peripherals menu, it only shows "Screen 1" - which doesn't even exist in the xconfig file.
I'm positive my monitor can go higher as it's a 19" and I had it at 1600x1200 in Windows no problem.
Here is my screen entry in my xorg.conf file:
Code:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen AGP"
Device "NV AGP"
Monitor "My Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"

EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 32
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection
EndSection
I set the max resolution to 1280x1024 since I figured that perhaps I was trying to go too high too fast. I'm fairly certain my nVidia drivers are working right as my transparencies are working right, and my icons are nicely antialised.
Any help would be greatly appreciated... I can't stand such a low resolution
