Re: Screen Resolution

Actually your problem does not surprise me. Besides setting your monitor you also need to set your graphics card. I noticed it said TRIDENT for your graphics card. I remember having the exact same problem your having with a trident based graphics card and patched it to old older library under which it did run. So my first suggestion to to see if you can find the exact name of your graphics card and set that along with your monitor. Alternately you might want to consider upgrading your graphics card in the near future.

Hope this helps.

Bob

    Hi Folks,

    I'm having a bit of a problem with setting X to use a higher
resolution.  Under Winblows, this monitor, a Viewsonic Graphics Series
G810, can run 1280x1024 just fine.  But I can't get it to do that under
X.    I can run system-config-display and set it to 1280x1024 but then
when I restart X, the screen is all screwed up.  I get horizontal lines
all over it and you can barely read anything.

    At first I thought maybe it was my refresh rates, but after
verifying with Viewsonic, they match and are what they should be:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
        ModelName    "ViewSonic G810"
        HorizSync    30.0 - 97.0
        VertRefresh  50.0 - 180.0
        Option      "dpms"
EndSection

    As for the video card, it's a:

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "trident"
        VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
        BoardName   "Trident Blade3D (generic)"
        Option      "NoAccel"
EndSection

    What else should I be looking at to figure out this problem?  I'd
like to get the monitor running with a higher resolution, at least,
higher than 1024x768.

    Thanks.


You did not specify the amount of graphics memory available. Try using
a lower color depth. Perhaps 256 colors will do the trick.
