Quoting Pete <pchoppin@xxxxxxxxxxx>:
Greetings I am attempting to configure my ViewSonic VX1935WM widescreen monitor. Unfortunately this model is not listed in the Display Settings. I have attempted the generic 1440 x 900 LCD monitor listed. This does not provide the required resolution. I have edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf and added my monitor, resolution, refresh rate, and screen size. The problem is that even when I have added this to xorg.conf the new resolution does not show in Display Settings and I cannot change my display to the new resolution. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
It's video card dependant. X server doesn't support resolutions not in VESA BIOS out of the box (at least for some video cards). Wide screen resolutions are usually not listed in VESA BIOS by default. For Intel video cards, there's couple of programs you can try to change one of the VESA BIOS modes to 1440x900 (you'll need to do this on every boot, before X server starts). For example 915resolution (available from Dag's repository) should do it for Intel 800/900 chipsets.
