XF86Config file and Dell Inspiron 7500

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

 



Just FYI,

I just installed RedHat 7.3 on a Dell Inspiron 7500.  I found that the
default install created an XF86Config file ( /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 )
which had too restrictive of a vertical refresh rate.  This cause the
modes for 1400 x 1050 to be rejected by X.

On Red Hat 7.3, To get your Dell Inspriron 7500 to work in 1400x1050
mode, modify the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file as follows:

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier "Monitor0"
	...
	VertRefresh 50-100	# <-- this is the line to change
	...			# was 50-70, too restrictive
EndSection

I put lots of key words in there for people searching the web for
hints.  Maybe it will help someone in the future.  Using anything but
native resolutions on a dot matrix display looks really bad.

FWIW.
