How are things, Quin? Typically, if your screen supports multiple resolutions, modern versions of xorg will make them all available. You can cycle through them using CTRL ALT + and CTRL ALT - If those key combos don't change anything, then you're going to have to tweak your xorg.conf or use xrandr as suggested by others. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Why not? :-) Reason: All this magical autodetect, autoset and autoguess doesn't work on my ancient GPU (ATI Radeon 9200). And I haven't done the "big update" of X yet, because I prefer to keep things working for a while. If anybody needs something for "ripp off", feel free to use the attached file. (I hope it works, never tried this before.) You can always create your own one using "X -configure", but I think it won't be so tidy. :-) Of course, you can make "one file from two" (as I did). -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... # /etc/X11/xorg.conf # == Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout0" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0""CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" Option "SingleCard""true" EndSection #Section "ServerFlags" # Option "DontVTSwitch" "false" # Option "DontZap" "false" # Option "DontZoom" "false" # Option "Xinerama" "false" # Option "AIGLX" "true" #EndSection Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/local/share/X11/rgb" ModulePath "/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules" FontPath"/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath"/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/" FontPath"/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/OTF" FontPath"/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath"/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" FontPath"/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" FontPath"/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/" FontPath"/usr/local/share/fonts/amspsfont/type1/" FontPath"/usr/local/share/fonts/cmpsfont/type1/" EndSection Section "Module" Load"GLcore" Load"dbe" Load"dri" Load"extmod" Load"glx" Load"record" Load"xtrap" Load"freetype" Load"type1" EndSection Section "DRI" Mode0666 EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "de" Option "AutoRepeat""250 30" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device""/dev/sysmouse" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "EmulateWheel" "true" Option "EmulateWheelButton""2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" # Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "EIZO" ModelName "FlexScan F980" HorizSync 30.0 - 137.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0 # DisplaySize 400 300 Option "DPMS" "false" # ModeLine"1400x1050" 155.80 1400 1464 1784 1912 1050 1052 1064 1090 +hsync +vsync # Modeline"1152x864" 108.00 1152 1216 1344 1600 864 865 868 900 +hsync +vsync # Modeline"1024x768" 94.50 1024 1072 1168 1376 768 769 772 808 +hsync +vsync # Modeline"800x600"56.30 800 832 896 1048 600 601 604 631 +hsync +vsync # Modeline"640x480"36.00 640 696 752 832 480 481 484 509 -hsync -vsync Option "PreferredMode" "1152x864" # freezes system if set to 1400x1050 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "ati" # Driver "radeon" VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc" BoardName "Radeon RV250 If [Radeon 9000]" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Screen 0 # VideoRam131072 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Card1" Driver "ati" # Driver "radeon" VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc" BoardName "Radeon RV250 If [Radeon 9000] (Secondary)" BusID "PCI:1:0:1" # VideoRam131072 Screen 1 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" Option "Accel" DefaultDepth24 SubSection "Display" # Virtual 1400 1050 # ViewPor

Hi Quin. On Wed, 15 Apr 2009 16:10:01 -0600, "Q. Taylor" wrote: > Hello > > I am trying to find a way to change my current screen resolution from the > default 720x426 (I think). [...] if I could increase the screen > size to maybe 1028x756 that would be great. > > Any one knowing please email me the answer. The common way to do this - was? - a setting in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" Option "Accel" DefaultDepth24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Visual "TrueColor" Modes "1152x864" EndSubSection EndSection It is the "Modes" setting which in this example is 1152x864. Since FreeBSD 7.0 I have problems with this mechanism (it selects stupid screen sizes or even locks the machine - 1152x864 is the highest value I can get), so for me, this dirty workaround in my ~/.xinitrc works: xrandr --size 1400x1050 & xrandr --fb 1400x1050 & The use of xrandr should always work. PS. Did you intendedly exclude the list from receiving answer? If not, you may forward my reply to the list. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
