Hello,
I thought my xorg problems were solved but there is still a problem.
Please see below.
Hi Hartwig, Mark,
The xorg.conf file fixed the problem. I commented out the sections for
the keyboard and mouse since the Sun keyboard and mouse worked ok. I
changed the other sections to suit the Sun LCD.
Thanks for the help!
Best regards,
Fred

Hello,
I am running Debian 6.0 on a Sun Ultra 5 with a Sun 7205a LCD. The
video mode defaults to 800x600 which is causing problems with the
openbox window manager. The video mode probably needs to be set to
1280x1024 but I have been unable to determine how to do this. There is
no longer an xorg command to run with -configure to give an xorg.conf
file to edit and I have not been able to generate one that X will
accept. I know the major timing numbers for the LCD but do not know
what to use for "Video Card". What should I do to change the video mode?
Best regards,
Fred
/etc/X11/xorg.conf, taken from my Ultra 5, running Debian 6.0.6, onboard
graphics, Fujitsu Siemens 17 inch monitor.
Color depth is 16 bit, 24 bit does not work with 1280x1024 pixels (Xorg.0.log:
insufficient memory).

The monitor is now running at 1280x1024. I am using the openbox window
manager. The display is way bigger that the LCD and when an application
is minimized the icon goes way off the screen and I can't get it back.
Respondents on the openbox mailing list say this is an xorg problem.
Openbox supposedly just uses whatever X tells it. I added the "Virtual"
line to the xorg.conf file but it didn't appear to have any effect and I
don't see another option that might.
Here is the video portion of my xorg.conf:

Fred
