resolution stuck at 640x480

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



this is on an older machine 450MHz with 128M ram and 3D rage card -
working off an lcd monitor for whom i've had to set 
horizsync 30-35
vertrefresh 50-100
(or it tries to overshoot the monitor's capabilities and the screen
locks up with an outofrange error for the horizsync.

everything installed fine, but even with the following in xorg.conf:

driver set to ati
defaultdepth to 16
modes "1024x768" "800x600"

it comes up as 640x480

also, i need to 
exec xterm&

before going into lxde or the cursor doesn't show up.

i've already pacmaned
xf86-video-r128 (rage driver)
xf86-video-ati (ati driver)

it works fine in 640x480 (though a bit rough), but it would be nice to
get at least 800x600.
