I just got a Dell P1110 Ultrascan monitor to hook up to my IBM Thinkpad X23. The problem that I am having is that I cannot get the X server to go above 1280x1024 resolution. This computer is a dual boot with Windows XP and in windows it has no problem going as high as 1620x1200 without a problem. If I specify any resolution higher than 1280x1024 in Xconfigurator, the XServer says that the are no acceptable configurations and exits. To make the laptop work with the LCD screen I had to merge the contents of the Xconfigurator program with that of the one generated by anaconda. Here is a copy of my XF86Config-4 file: # File generated by anaconda. Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Anaconda Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "USB Mice" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" # The location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the # file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally # no need to change the default. RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together) # By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of # the X server to render fonts.
