Hi,
I am haviving a video card "trident 975 3D" which the systen detected when I
gave "Trdent 8900/9000 (generic)" and my monitor have a maximun resolution of
1280x1024. I tried edit my XF86Config but I couldn't find any virtual
resolution above 1280x1024 under selection screen. Where ever I found "virtual
screen" I gave a # above it, still my desk top is the same. My server is SVGA
Thank you
