Hi, I am hoping one of you can help me.
I have a eMachines M5116 laptop with a screen resolution of 1280x800; but I
can only get it to work at 1024x768. I managed to get it working using
Mandrake 10 with XFree86 using the folowing comfiguration file. I have tried
placing it in /etc/X11 but the graphical system fails to load. Would
somebody be able and willing to help me translate it to work with xorg and
FC2 please.
I saw the post in the list sugesting to just place the new resolution in
xorg.conf, with no effect
Here is the XF86Config-4 that worked with Mandrake:
# **********************************************************************
# Refer to the XF86Config man page for details about the format of
# this file.
# **********************************************************************
Section "Files"
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Mandrake 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
FontPath "unix/:-1"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
#DontZap # disable <Crtl><Alt><BS> (server abort)
#DontZoom # disable <Crtl><Alt><KP_+>/<KP_-> (resolution switching)
AllowMouseOpenFail # allows the server to start up even if the mouse
doesn't work
