[gentoo-user] OT: Monitor resolutions

2006-03-27 Thread JimD
Does anyone know whey monitor resolutions go: 1024x768, 1152x864, 1280x1024 Shouldn't that last number be: 1280x960? I have a 17" and a 19" LCD and I have been wondering why both do 1280x1024 by default. Jim -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
