log out and restart xserver fc6?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have two computers. One monitor. The settings on one computer with old monitor seemed OK. When I hooked up new monitor, it now reads in Administration -> Display:
resolution: 1400x1050
millions colors

The other computer (my newer one) keeps defaulting to:
640x480
thousands colors

I checked the older computer's xorg.conf file and it reads:
Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device     "Videocard0"
    DefaultDepth     24
    Subsection "Display"
         Viewport     0  0
         Depth     24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

When I try to set the newer computer to the same settings, it invariably defaults to the 640x480 settings, or goes whacky, and can't load xserver. I then have to go to terminal and run: # system-config-display --reconfig --set-resolution 1024x768 --set-depth 16 and restart computer to get back to 640x480 settings. Confusing to say the least.

Is there another file involved that I don't know about? Is there a special order to go about changing resolution and depth?
