I have two computers. One monitor. The settings on one computer with
old monitor seemed OK. When I hooked up new monitor, it now reads in
Administration -> Display:
resolution: 1400x1050
millions colors
The other computer (my newer one) keeps defaulting to:
640x480
thousands colors
I checked the older computer's xorg.conf file and it reads:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 24
Subsection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
When I try to set the newer computer to the same settings, it invariably
defaults to the 640x480 settings, or goes whacky, and can't load
xserver. I then have to go to terminal and run:
# system-config-display --reconfig --set-resolution 1024x768
--set-depth 16 and restart computer to get back to 640x480 settings.
Confusing to say the least.
Is there another file involved that I don't know about? Is there a
special order to go about changing resolution and depth?
