Choose yes. Then take a look at the resultant xorg.conf file and Take a look at the Horizontal Refresh and Vertical Refresh in the Monitor Section. Make sure that it matches your specifications in the Monitor section Section "Monitor" #DisplaySize 300 230 # mm Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "DEL" ModelName "DELL D1028L" ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC: HorizSync 30.0 - 69.0 VertRefresh 48.0 - 120.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection To add the 1440x900 lines look for the bottom lines In the Section Screen Where it says something like SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 16 # you can add here Modes "1440x900" "1024x768" "800x600" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1440x900" "1024x768" "800x600" EndSubSection and test out your configurations. This should help you out. In my xorg.conf file I do not need the "1280x1024", "1024x768" lines, it works for me. In your case you might need them to make sure that it displays at the highest possible resolution/best resolution for you.
