Hi lists. I am trying to setup an X server with KDM on a laptop which has
wide screen format (1280x768) and normal screen (1280x1024) when connected
to an external monitor.
But I don't get to configure the wide screen format as the default one.
Actually it is running inside a vmware, but don't get distracted by
that...
I want to start X on the wide resolution but I can't. The DOC says the
first resolution found in your config is taken by default.
My X server always starts in 1280x1024 and I can later switch to 1280x768.
But I want it the other way around.
If I remove all references to 1280x1024 in the config, then my X starts in
1280x768 but I can't switch to 1280x1024 anymore.
Why doesn't X get the first resolution found in the config? How can I
force it to start in a particular resolution?
Here are the relevant lines of my XF86config:
