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 Urs Beyerle wrote:
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 Doug Benjamin wrote: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
