OK, so I added modelines to Display section of XF86Config-4. Now the
section looks like this:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 1
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 4
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 15
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
# SubSection "Display"
# Depth 24
# Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
# EndSubSection
These modes are supported, there should be no problem implementing them.
However, now when I open Mozilla the screen just turns white. Right-click
with the mouse - and standard menu for Mozilla appears. But I do kind of
need to see the page.... What would that be, do you think?
That reminds me of the problem I had before, when the colors whould change
every time I opened a new window.
ctrl-alt - + works now, as I restarted xdm
Thanks
Appreciate your help,
Luda
