The card is an "Intel 965G" It has linux drivers that are installed and
working. I tried configuring it with sax2, that did not work.
I have been playing with the xorg.conf file and have made some progress with
xrandr which gives me the status as:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1280 x 1280
VGA connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 376mm x 301mm
1024x768 75.1 + 70.1 60.0
1280x1024 60.0 + 75.0 59.9
1152x864 75.0 74.8
832x624 74.6
800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2
640x480 75.0 72.8 66.7 60.0
720x400 70.1
1024x768_60 60.0*
LVDS connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 246mm x 185mm
1024x768 50.0*+ 60.0 40.0
800x600 60.3
640x480 60.0 59.9
(notice that on the first line: "maximum [resalution =] 1280 x 1280"
But this does not match my config file. From xorg.conf:
....
Section "Screen"
Identifier "LScreen"
Device "Intel 965G"
Monitor "monitor-LVDS"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
Virtual 2304 2304
EndSubSection
EndSection
..
This is the only screen section, and notice the "Virtual 2304 2304"...
When I run:
$xrandr --output VGA --right-of LVDS
(which apears to be the command I want)
I get:
xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1280x1280 (desired size 2048x768)
I have restarted the computer with the hope that this will take effect, but it
did not. How do I get my virtual screen size to change? (note that sax2 is
probably not a good option as I just ripped out a lot of its extra stuff)
Thanks,
