Question, are you editing this in the XF86Config file, or the XF86Config-4 file? I spent about 3 days trying to get my scroll button on my mouse to work, editing the XF86Config file, only to discover, in a frenzy of anguish, that it actually uses the XF86Config-4 file in /etc/X11 Others might have known this, but no one ever told me about it. I only learned by saying, well, what if it's using one of the other files here... Hopefully this helps cheers On Wed, 22 Nov 2000, mail wrote: > Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 18:27:09 +0000 > From: mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [expert] Help Req'd Changing Resolution in 7.2 > > I'm trying to set my resolution to 1152x864 using X v4 in mandrake 7.2, > however the X server ignores this setting and defaults to 1024x768 > > According to my config file for X v3 I have the modelines for it, and it was > my default resoltion for Mandrake 7.1 > > Any Ideas? > > Here's a snippet of my config file: > > # ********************************************************************** > # Monitor section > # ********************************************************************** > > # Any number of monitor sections may be present > > Section "Monitor" > Identifier "Generic|Multi-frequency that can do 1280x1024 at 60 Hz" > VendorName "Unknown" > ModelName "Unknown" > > > # HorizSync is in kHz unless units are specified. > # HorizSync may be a comma separated list of discrete values, or a > # comma separated list of ranges of values. > # NOTE: THE VALUES HERE ARE EXAMPLES ONLY.
