Yet another Resolution Problem


Ok, so here is the issue. I have in SaX 2 the Monitor set to 1600x1200 which this monitor is able to support. I have the resolution set to 1280x1024 70hz, BUT if I check in the Kdesktop Configuration (right click, configure desktop, display) it shows the max "Screen[0]" can go to is 1024x768.

Confusing enough? During installation I didn't get the full screen either, I just got the top corner, as though the computer wanted to go to 1600x1200 but the monitor didn't allow it.

xorg.conf shows the following for screen:

Code:
Section "Screen"
  DefaultDepth 24
  SubSection "Display"
    Depth      15
    Modes      "1600x1200" "1600x1024" "1600x1000" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1440x900" "1280x960" "1366x768" "1280x800" "1152x864" "1280x768" "1024x768" "1280x600" "1024x600" "800x600" "768x576" "640x480"
  EndSubSection
  SubSection "Display"
    Depth      16
    Modes      "1600x1200" "1600x1024" "1600x1000" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1440x900" "1280x960" "1366x768" "1280x800" "1152x864" "1280x768" "1024x768" "1280x600" "1024x600" "800x600" "768x576" "640x480"
  EndSubSection
  SubSection "Display"
    Depth      24
    Modes      "1600x1200" "1600x1024" "1600x1000" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1440x900" "1280x960" "1366x768" "1280x800" "1152x864" "1280x768" "1024x768" "1280x600" "1024x600" "800x600" "768x576" "640x480"
  EndSubSection
  SubSection "Display"
    Depth      8
    Modes      "1600x1200" "1600x1024" "1600x1000" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1440x900" "1280x960" "1366x768" "1280x800" "1152x864" "1280x768" "1024x768" "1280x600" "1024x600" "800x600" "768x576" "640x480"
  EndSubSection
  Device       "Device[0]"
  Identifier   "Screen[0]"
  Monitor      "Monitor[0]"
EndSection

Section "Device"
  BoardName    "CyberBlade/xp4"
  BusID        "1:0:0"
  Driver       "trident"
  Identifier   "Device[0]"
  Option       "CyberShadow"
  Screen       0
  VendorName   "Trident"
EndSection
Decided to add device in there. I have the Depth set to 24, so you can see all the reso's are listed there.

So what the freak?

Eh, I figured it out.. It was the stupid monitor, for SOME REASON some Tecra M1's have monitors that can support 1280 x 1024, BUT latter models of Tecra M1's could only support 1025 x 768
