Hi Dimitry, yes, thanks for the hint... 915resolution -l is not showing my 1280x768... ?? Or I didn't understand how 915resolution works (that's why I posting to newbies and not to [EMAIL PROTECTED] now) I have tried both, giving a mode that I don't use and giving the right one, just in case of but in both cases it doesn't work...
Anyway, actually it's possible that even the patch is working but as of now nothing happens because xorg cannot start. I have the feeling that I need to manually edit the table and add the 1280x768 so that xorg can do it But now I don't know where xorg.conf is! I was looking in the usual place (for a linux user /etc/X11/) but it's not there locate shows elachistos% locate xorg.conf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf.eg /usr/X11R6/man/cat5/xorg.conf.0 What is this /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf.eg ? Is is an example? Which configuration file is reading xorg? Is it xorg.conf.eg? Why the .eg extension? thanks for your patience, Pau 2006/12/14, Dimitry Andric <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Vim Visual wrote: > > Logging as su and without X running I get > > > > 1280pgm 30 1280 768 > > Unable to open /dev/mem: Operation not permitted > > You must run this before securelevel gets raised. > > > > 3d 1920 1440 is one mode I don't want to use; you have to overwrite > > one of them like that > > I "guessed" that one because I have a logbook from my experimentations > > with the same laptop > > and Linux + 915resolution.
