Re: Really strange resolution problems on xorg with a laptop
Has this problem been resolved? I have the same problem for a similar laptop (HP Pavilion dv5120us). The X Server 1.4.0 (FreeBSD 6.3-R) works fine, but 1.4.2 (From both 6.4 and 7.1) produce this problem. My screen is 13.25 inch x 8.25 inch in resolution 1280x800. The DPI shown in Xorg.0.log is (96, 96), which is correct according to the dpi expression listed below. Only strange # from the Xorg.0.log is the screen size 310 x 21. The screen size should be 330 x 301, which is corrected stated in xorg.conf. I wonder if this is a X Server 1.4.2 bug. Is anyway to correct this problem? or X 1.4.0 has to be used for this particular laptop till a new X Server released. -Jin - original message - On Wed, 24 Dec 2008 16:22:40 -0500, Aryeh M.

I found out last night (celebrating one year of FBSD on the desktop)
that I could gain a higher resolution by increasing those numbers.
YMMV, and there are some warnings that probably have merit, or
they wouldn't be warning us, right? include #disclaimer.h
Here's what I did.
1. Save/close everthing on the desktop.
2. Switch to console on ttyv1, edit Xf86config, raising top of
sync/refresh ranges.
3. kill -HUP {pid of Xfree86} ... system would send me to ttyv0 (GUI).
4. If monitor complains out of range, switch to ttyv1 again...
5. edit Xf86config, *lowering* sync/refresh ranges.
6. Back to step #3
After several loops, I got a display back on ttyv0, and logged in
to GNOME (environment of choice), which now allows me to choose
at least 1280x1024 ... quid pro quo: I chose a higher res [1600x1200]
in GNOME, once since then, and had to salvage the session on ttyv1
'cause GNOME didn't reset things automagically...fortunately no big
files unsaved there
YMMV, of course.
