Hey everybody, sorry to be bothering you, but I can't get any further by myself. I have been googling on this for a few hours now. I just installed FC2 (first time with linux) and am trying to get the 1680x1050 resolution to work. There are plenty of posts about this, and they all kind of match themselves, so that should be pretty straight forward. Here is what i put into my xorg.conf: ====================== Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "dell-i8600" DefaultDepth 24 Subsection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1680x1050" "1280x800" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1680x1050" "1280x800" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1680x1050" "1280x800" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection EndSection Section "Device" (I installed the NVidia drivers as well, logo showing up, so it should be ok...) Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "Videocard vendor" BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 4 (generic)" EndSection Section "Modes" Identifier "16:10" Modeline "1280x800" 107.21 1280 1360 1496 1712 800 801 804 835 Modeline "1280x800" 123.38 1280 1368 1504 1728 800 801 804 840 Modeline "1280x800" 147.89 1280 1376 1512 1744 800 801 804 848 Modeline "1680x1050" 147.14 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051 1054 1087 Modeline "1680x1050" 188.07 1680 1800 1984 2288 1050 1051 1054 1096 Modeline "1680x1050" 214.51 1680 1800 1984 2288 1050 1051 1054 1103 Modeline "1680x1050" 256.20 1680 1808 1992 2304 1050 1051 1054 1112 EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "dell-i8600" HorizSync 31.5-100 VertRefresh 30-90 UseModes "16:10" EndSection ... (other stuff) ============================= Now, whatever I do, I can only get 1280x800 to work: - I removed all the 1680x1050 entries -> worked. - I removed all the 1280x800 entries -> either very low standard vesa resolution or hang itself up. - Although man xorg.conf says that the order is determined in subsection display I switched the order of the two in "Modes" -> nothing happens Haven't found anyone else with that problem, and it seems to work for a lot of people, so I am quite confused... Could someone help me out on this one please? And while you are it, maybe a short question by the side: how does one switch resolutions? System settings -> Display shows absolutely wrong monitor with wrong resolutions and if I choose something it screws xorg.conf up. So I guess if one configures xorg.conf, the System settings -> Display option can't be used anymore, right? So the answer would be to switch some order in the xorg.conf?
