[Newbie]Dell I8k c/w ATI Rage - resolutions?

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

 



Hi,
	I am a brand new subscriber. I checked last months archive to see if this 
problem was addressed but it seems not. Here's where I'm at.......
System is a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop with ATI Rage Mobility 8 meg vid card.
When I installed LM8.2 the vid probe would not accept any display setting 
other than Dell laptop display at 1400x1050 and I tried to set the res at 
800x600 and 16 bit colour. Well within specs. 
	It seems that I got the 1400x1050 display but it does not allow any other 
setting. Ctrl / Alt / kb / +      or     / -    have no effect. 
	I tried Dell and generic displays at other resolutions but I keep getting 
errors and the system returns to the original 1400x1050.

	I am running fine but the display is pretty tiny and I was wondering if 
anyone has come across this particular problem. When I was running LM8.1 I 
had no problem setting alternate resolutions. But I did a re-install and not 
an upgrade so I don't have my old XF86config-4 file to try.


Thoughts?

tia,
Bill W.
