dunno. here, FWIW, is % xranda >& /tmp/file, the ampersand to
capture the first line:
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 400, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1024
default connected 1280x1024+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1280x1024 0.0*
1152x864 0.0
1024x768 0.0
800x600 0.0
640x480 0.0
720x400 0.0
And this is what I actually get as my resolution. next is what
is ignored by your xrand --output ... line::
pts/4 18:11 <tao> [4692] xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1152x864
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
warning: output VGA-1 not found; ignoring
pts/4 18:12 <tao> [4693]
next, for the heck of it, I tried the next-larger res: 1280x1024 and
only got the "usage:" string for xrandr. anything you--or anybody--
see from the data captured?? like, am I missing some driver module, or
part-of? im totally out of ideas.
