Nope. You only have the VGA port active. That's good.* Beartooth Sciurivore (beartooth@xxxxxxxx) wrote:

For some reason X isn't finding your monitor. My /etc/X11/xorg.conf has
the following entries for my Acer1916W (at 1440X900):
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
ModelName "LCD Panel 1440x900"
DisplaySize 365 228
### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC:
HorizSync 31.5 - 100.0
VertRefresh 59.0 - 75.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "ATI Radeon"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1440x900" "1440x900"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Try using:
/usr/bin/system-config-display
and setting the Monitor Type to "LCD Panel 1440x900"
You'll want display size at "336 269"

In addition to sytem-config-display you could execute the
command /usr/bin/krandrtray. This adds an icon on the lower right section
of the Panel. Click on the icon to change display settings.
