question on my screen resolution
Hello everyone: I am running freebsd 6.1 release on my Dell 6400 laptop computer. It has a 1280x800 wide-screen resolution. The video card I use is ATI Radeon Mobility X1300. But I failed to adjust the screen resolution. I follow the instructions in the FreeBSD handbook, but failed. First I add 1280x800 into Modes, but still 1024x768 Later I add Virtual 1280 800 just after the Modes, X mass up the screen, I can not see anything. Last, I run gtf and get a ModeLine, and added into the xorg.conf, and also use Modes 1280x800, and again it display in 1024x768. The drive I use is vesa because when I use radeon or ati, I cannot get into X. it says glx not found or something and guess ati or radeon driver does not support my X1300 video card. can anyone gives me a hint? thx.

Re: question on my screen resolution
Lane: but actually I think it _is_ a problem of freebsd. when I use Debian GNU/Linux operating system without the ATI fglrx driver installed, I use the similar xorg.conf [remove the Modes 1280x800 and Modeline] and add Virtual 1280 800 and everything works file. but I try the same method in freebsd, only to find it failed to work. what's more, i have the libglx.so module. actually mesa, ati, and radeon driver does not support x1300. it also says failed to load glx module when I use Debian GNU/Linux, so only the 3D won't work. but it doesn't matter, I just want to change the screen resolution. but i will take your advice and have a look at the xorg homepage. thx.

Sherry Zhang Sherry, This is probably an xorg issue, not freebsd-specific. But send a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log, just for giggles. lane Yeah, Sherry. I'm outta my league. I recommend that you check out http://wiki.X.Org to see if and how this card is supported. It's clear from your /var/log/Xorg.0.log that glx is not being loaded. Probably you don't have: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so But I'm not sure what knob causes that to be compiled. Nor am I even sure that your X1300 card is supported. Check with the wiki and post back to freebsd-questions if you get an answer.

Sherry, try this : stop your X server, make a backup of your xorg.conf file,
then from a VT, as root, run xorgcf
you *should* be able to test on real time the resolutions that you can get to.
I am assuming, of course , that your monitor DOES handle that resolution...
