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.
