My problem to use 1152*864, my /etc/X11/XFree86config file seems to be
correct but Xfree always chose 1024*768...
Snif... I 'm so sad..
however thanks for your additional information.
A part of me XF86config file :
"Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "i810"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "Intel 845"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600"
"640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Check your X server log file, and it will tell you why it
rejected 1152x864. A popular reason for Intel video hardware, is
because your BIOS CMOS settings limit the video memory to a small
amount like 1Mb or 2Mb. Increase the video memory amount in the
BIOS to 16Mb or more. Alternatively try using VideoRAM 16384 in
the config file Device section.
