Okey I ran xorgconfig and
tried to use the generic S3 driver and
my X just wouldn't want to start. I tried a couple
other S3 drivers there and they all wouldn't work.
This is weird. I ran xorgsetup then in xorg.conf
under section: Subsection "Display"
I modified it to look like this
Code:
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1600x1200" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 32
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection
EndSection
Then I started up X and my screen was at 1600x1200!
I would slowly cut out so it would look like this
"1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
then "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
It would to start up at 1400x1050 then when I cut it
out It would start at 1280x1024. So then I replaced
1280x1024 with 1280x768 and it wouldn't want to start
at 1280x768, it just would avoid it and start at
1024x768. Seems like it would start at any resolution
BUT 1280x768! Is there any tools that could force
the resolution to be 1280x768 on my laptop?
My laptop is using the vesa driver because the S3
drivers wouldn't work. On the monitors horizontal sync and vertical refresh I tried looking on the gateway
site and couldn't find it.I also looked in my manual
and it didn't have the specs for it too.
