Hi Urs,

   Yes I used 915resolution (installed via yum install 915resolution)

yum list 915resolution gives me this result.
Installed Packages
915resolution.i386                       0.5.2-2.el4.rf         installed

The machine is at CERN so I am using slc4.7 which is a variant of SL4.7

When I tried to install 915resolution as a service via
 /sbin/chkconfig 915resolution on

I get this result:

error reading information on service 915resolution: No such file or directory

What I have done as a work around is to change /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit  and added 
these lines:

# Hack at end for using 915resolution
echo "overriding VESA BIOS resolutions"
/usr/sbin/915resolution 3a 1440 900

Of course, if initscripts package changes I have remember what I have done and 
change the
file again.

  Thanks again for your help.

  Cheers,

Doug B

Hi,

Are you using 915resolution provided by SL47 (915resolution-0.5.3-5.sl4)?

If yes, your /etc/sysconfig/915resolution should look like that

BIOS_TYPE=3a
X=1440
Y=900

And you have to enable the service 915resolution in order to get
915resolution running on bootup.

chkconfig 915resolution on


Cheers,

    Urs

Hello,

  We have a desktop with a wide screen attached.  The motherboard
has an integrated Intel video chip (945).
By hand I can run 915resolution command to overwrite one of the video
Bios
settings to the maximum resolution of the screen.

$915resolution 3a 1440 900

Restart X and new monitor and system use the new resolution.
(I have made the required changes to xorg.conf file).

I have even created the file /etc/sysconfig/915resolution
and added the line - RESOLUTION="3a 1440 900"

What must I do to have these changes survive a reboot.

thanks,

Doug Benjamin
