Ok I followed your instructing and checked multiple times to make sure I edit the xorg correctly, now when I try to startx I get the following error:

Sorry to read that you are still having problems.

Interestingly I don't even have a xorg.conf file as my hardware simply doesn't require one.

Hope you get it figured out soon.

Thanks man, I hope so too

Btw I just re-read this:

Modeline "2560x1440" 241.50 2560 2608 2640 2720 1440 1443 1448 1481 +hsync -vsync

He has double spaces in between, don't know if it matters but I'm desperate . Gonna restart and try now.

SwoleGeek · 05-31-2013, 02:58 PM

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT WORKED!!! Thanks Nikosis and everyone else. It's was hard to see the spacing in terminal and I didn't have them right. Had to add a couple.

Ok, good.

Now, go to Thread tools and mark the thread as SOLVED
