Occasional "Monitor output has changed" error message

Occasionally, when startx, I got the error message: "Monitor output has changed" error message ( and sometimes it appear while I am working in X too but rarer). Whenever this happened, my screen changes to "1024x768" resolution when normally it is "1280x800".
I click on "Configure", a "Configure Display" windows appear and I have to change the screen to Size"1280x800" back (since it would give me 1024x768"). Besides, the number of error messages will be up to 50s, 60s message. (This "Configure Display" is what you get when you go to "Application->System->"Screen Resize and Rotate" (KRandRTray))

My computer is Toshiba Satellite L500, the distro is Slackware 13.37. It was just installed so all the configuration is out of the box.

What should I do to fix this? Thank you for your response.

Weird. It sounds like your monitor identifies itself differently each time. You might solve it with a file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy, but I'm not going to write it for you.
You might solve it with a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, which describes both monitors, and X will simply use the one that it finds.specify Aspect ratio (16:9) in each).
You might also solve it by saving default modes in the monitor.

What file should I create in xorg.conf.d? Or is there any document where I can read about it? I tried "man xorg.conf.d" but it does not show anything. I do found a file xorg.conf-vesa in /etc/X11. Should I do anything with it?
It seems to me that you suggest the HAL was doing the identifying the hardware and probing the driver for it. Is there anyway I can solidify it (meaning find out a best possible configuration and point to it anytime I need to startx)? I tried xorgconfig, but it is obsolete now.

Thank you.

There are a few .conf bits supplied with slackware - don't ask me where.

It's the same syntax as xorg.conf, except just the bits (keyboard bit for a keyboard file). You need monitor sections in a monitor file. You don't need the 'Section & EndSection'

I tried created a file myxorg.conf and put it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

and all the modelines there. From memory, a modeline has
name h-freq dotclock right-visible etc.

The dotclock is the speed it is placing out the dots at.

I did as you showed. I still get the error like it the last time. For some reason, the driver "i810" cannot be loaded even though the chipset I have is GM45.

I did a quick search +i810 +gm45. I came across this

Code:

i915.modeset=1 worked for me like a charm. My hardware details are:

Apparently it's a kernel module problem. i915.modeset=1 would be a boot parameter. You could also try zero (i.e. i915.modeset=0)

Tried adding "append"i915.modeset=1" into lilo.conf

(I showed here the parts of lilo.conf that I changed)

Code:

#vga = normal



# Linux bootable partition config begins

image = /boot/vmlinuz

append="i915.modeset=1"

  initrd= /boot/initrd.gz

  root = /dev/sda1

  label = Slack-init

  read-only

# Linux bootable partition config ends

Copied back the configuration file back into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/, startx, and here is the log file

I believed I have 2 problems here:
1) When I startx, sometimes, the X server think that I have 2 monitors out put, one is LVDS1 and the other is TV1.
2) X11 keep using the VESA driver for my video card and refused - unable- to use the intel driver for my card.

May be these two problems are related (they are confused by 2) and lead to 1) ). Can you give me any suggestion? Thanks for being with me this far.
