Hi members of the list,
I recently installed debian from a Knoppix 3.3 catalan. The problem is that I want to have a 1024*768 resolution (BTW my monitor is a 15" SyncMaster 551S, samsung, with a recommeded refresh vertical rate of 85 Hz). I obtain only a 800x600 resolution (see attached file XF86Config-4_old.txt). To solve the problem, and as I am not used to modifying this file by hand (I am mostly a Mandrake user, but would like to become a Debianer as I see this distribution as more long-term stable) I had the following idea: I booted my system with the knoppix CD and the following options:
knoppix screen=1024x768 vsync=85
This results in the screen resolution I wanted, together with the vertical refresh rate recommended. I copied the new file (see attached file XF86Config-4_new.txt) to my installed knoppix system, but I still get the 800x600 resolution.
Can anyone help me? I cannot see why the resolution is
still 800x600. Should I delete all the references to
the other resolutions?
What happens when you shut down X (/etc/init.d/xdm stop) or gdm if you are running gdm, in anycase, stop the X server, and then run X -configure.
That creates a XF86Config.new in the directory that you are running in. You can start X on that config, it will only show a grey screen, but you can tell what it is like.
Just use that config, with some tweaks, like where your mouse is and what your keyboard is like...
Hugo.
