I sent this to a Sun alias just before getting Andrei's announcement of the laptop community; seems like a more appropriate venue...
-------- Original Message -------- I've got a laptop with a 12.1" wxga screen, which should be able to do 1280x768 resolution. Google yields various Linux hits, all dependent on using the 855resolution or 915resolution programs to update the vbios with settings for the mode. Anybody got a way to set my bios, and/or tell Xorg the mode parameters without doing so? I added hsync/vrefresh ranges and a modeline, but it still tells me Not using mode "1280x768" (no mode of this name) ...even though I have defined one via ModeLine in the Monitor section. ??? --Mark
