I have an Intel based Graphics Adapter. I have generated and tried xorg.conf.vesa using hwd. Not working either. 'X -configure' generated the xorg.conf file for me.. and i'm sure for an intel based graphics adapter, X -configure should work pretty fine. I suspect my monitor is under-reporting the resolution the Xfce. I'm running ubuntu now and will shift to Fedora soon.. -- Sin Cera, Bhargav Prasanna _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
