(by way of intro, i got to this point after pretty much trashing my
X setup trying to get googleearth to run properly, and finally putting
the bits and pieces back together enough to restore a normal X
session. grrrrr. we'll be getting to that little adventure shortly.)
scenario:
gateway mx8711 laptop
1440x900 res display
intel 945GM video controller
at the moment, the system really is running at full 1440x900, but only
because it's set that way via:
System -> Preferences -> Hardware -> Screen Resolution
which is set to 1440x900 and Laptop 17".
however, what i don't understand is why i can't select that
resolution via
System -> Administration -> Display (system-config-display)
which lets me go only as high as 1024x768.
when i run s-c-d, under "Settings", i see only up to 1024x768, but
if i go over to the "Hardware" tab, i see:
Monitor Type: LCD Panel 1440x900
Video Card: Intel ... 945GM/GMS ...
so i'm confused ... the Hardware tab clearly recognizes the display,
yet the Settings tab won't let me choose that resolution.
am i missing something? or, given that it's working properly, do i
care?
