In a new Fedora-18/64 bit install in a new computer I am unable to set
the resolution above 1024x768 at 60HZ and would like to set it higher.
I found the following:.
[root@box10 ~]# ll /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
total 4
-rw-rw-r--. 1 root root 161 Feb 28 04:42 00-anaconda-keyboard.conf
To which I attempted to add configuration data for this ViewSonic
VX2035WM monitor, trying to increase the resolution to the
manufacturer's spec.
The following does not work. I got a black screen and had to bring up
another terminal and remove the file in order to reboot. The truth is I
don't really know what I'm doing, perhaps someone who understand this
can point out what needs to be done?
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor-conf
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "vesa" #Choose the driver used for
this monitor
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0" #Collapse Monitor and
Device section to Screen section
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 16 #Choose the depth (16||24)
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1680x1050_60.00" #Choose the resolution
EndSubSection
EndSection
Any suggestion appreciated.
hey bob,
give this a try:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "ati"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
Modes "1680x1050_60.00"
EndSubSection
