You may not need the monitor section. If anything like DDC (I think
that's what it's acronym is - Display Data Control?) is in operation, it
will piuck up the proper rates automatically. I don't have a monitor
section at all in my xorg.conf. But I'm running a normal "desktop" node
with conventional monitor.
Regardless, even if needed, try what I show below.
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
My "Screen" section looks like this. Watch out for the line wrap on
"Modes".
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0

Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"

Something is really not working....
I have changed inittab to: id:3:initdefault:
I am logged in as root, and run: system-config-display --reconfig
I go into the Hardware tab. There I see it lists my video card; when I
go into configure the video card, it shows VESA (my video card is not a
listed card). For the monitor type, I select LCD Monitor 1280x1024.
Back to the Settings tab, I select 1024x768. I click on OK to save all
this, and system-config-display ends.
I then run: init 5
It comes up in 640x480 mode (according to Preferences>Screen
Resolution), and no other mode is listed.
I go to Administration>Display, where it lists the current mode as
640x480, I select 1024x768 and click on OK (can barely see the OK
button). I open a terminal window and run init 3 to get me out of X. I
run init 5 again. The login screen is at a higher resolution than
before, but once I log in as root, it is back to 640x480!
The display subsection in /etc/X11/xorg.conf lists only the modes:
"1024x768" "800x600" "600x480".
In the standard XP that comes with the units, the default resolution is
800x480 and you can increase that and use the capacitor scroll bars to
scroll the screen.
help....
