The elder gods, manifesting through Jon Hill, recently decreed: > Section "Screen" > Identifier "Screen0" > Device "Videocard0" > Monitor "Monitor0" > DefaultDepth 24 > SubSection "Display" > Viewport 0 0 > Depth 16 > Modes "1280x800" 800x600" "640x480" > EndSubSection > SubSection "Display" > Viewport 0 0 > Depth 24 > Modes "1280x800" > EndSubSection > EndSection This looks very similar to the setup I have for my own laptop, which also has a widescreen resolution (1680 x 1050). The 1680 x 1050 resolution option still does not show up in my KDisplay dialogue, but I'm resigned to that; I can adjust it in GNOME. What I noticed was this line: > Modes "1280x800" 800x600" "640x480" Is this a transcription error, or is there really a missing " before the 800x600? That might be causing you some issues. -- Sláinte, Richard S.
