I just had an issue like this as well. I used the XF86Config-4 file from Knoppix and couldn't get the resolution that I wanted. In order to get that resolution, my first attempt was to just add the mode like this: OLD: Modes "800x600" "640x480" NEW: Modes "1280x1024" "800x600" "640x480" but that didn't work. The REASON it didn't work is that the XF86Config-4 from Knoppix had all these ModeLine's: # These are the DDC-probed settings reported by your monitor. # 1152x864, 75.0Hz; hfreq=67.50, vfreq=75.00 ModeLine "1152x864" 108.00 1152 1216 1344 1600 864 865 868 900 +hsync +vsync # 1024x768, 75.0Hz; hfreq=60.02, vfreq=75.03 ModeLine "1024x768" 78.75 1024 1040 1136 1312 768 769 772 800 +hsync +vsync # 800x600, 75.0Hz; hfreq=46.88, vfreq=75.00 ModeLine "800x600" 49.50 800 816 896 1056 600 601 604 625 +hsync +vsync etc... and XFree86 didn't like something about them. In order to fix it, I just removed all of the ModeLine's and let XFree86 do its work. I decided to remove them based on the XFree86-Video-Timings-HOWTO which said: This HOWTO is effectively obsolete. Current (4.0.1 and up) versions of XFree86 compute optimal modelines from the resolution you specify in the Modes section of your X configuration file. So I removed the ModeLine's from my XF86Config-4 file and then I could get 1280x1024 like I wanted. Note that I *DID* have to have the "1280x1024" in the Modes line so that XFree86 knew that I wanted to use the resolution....
