Re: [gentoo-user] Screen settings
Your xorg.conf file looks fine, but you don't have anything lower than 1024x768 specified in your configuration as indicated below. You may have to recreate a new xorg.conf file with the correct monitor and driver settings. I did mine manually a long long time ago, but I think you can use xorgconfig to detect most of your settings for you...if so...hopefully that will fix you up. Section Screen Identifier Screen 1 Device video Monitor 2 DefaultDepth 24 Subsection Display Depth 8 Modes 1024x768 ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection Subsection Display Depth 16 Modes 1280x1024 ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection Subsection Display Depth 24 Modes 1024x768 ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsectionEndSection On 2/22/06, Rajat Gujral [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi,I am a newbie to gentoo enviorment.

So my question is how can i change the screen resolution back to 1024 x 768. Herewith attached is a copy on my xorg.conf file .. Thanx to u in advance for helping me through with it Thnx Warm Regards Rajat

Since you have the Modes 1024x768 for 24, it should come out looking like: Section Screen Identifier Screen0 Device Card0 MonitorMonitor0 DefaultDepth 24 SubSection Display Viewport 0 0 Depth 1 EndSubSection This is the only way I am ever able to get my system to go to 1280x1024, possibly it'll force yours to the correct setting.
