Thanks for replying Rikard,
Wow, my xorg.config file looks completely different from yours. I'm running
10.2, Here is my "screen" section. The monitor and modes section are just
above this.
Section "Screen"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 15
Modes "1600x1200"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1600x1200"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1600x1200"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1600x1200"
EndSubSection
Device "Device[0]"
Identifier "Screen[0]"
Monitor "Monitor[0]"
EndSection
I suppose I could try adding on to each of these Modes sections. Do the quotes
go around each of the resolutions individually?
Thanks Bob S.
