Video resolution

[toothandnail]

I recently installed Salix64 XFCE on an Intel G31 chipset machine. It uses Intel graphics (not sure which ones at the moment, haven't got access to the machine just now). It was installed using a 15" LCD monitor, and, once configured, moved to its permanent position, where its hooked up to a 17 Acer LCD screen.

Small problem - the Acer should be running at 1280x1024, but the Salix machine is running at 1024x768 on the Acer monitor, and the XFCE settings don't offer any higher resolution.

Is there any way of forcing it to rescan to get the correct resolution, or is something else necessary to get it to go to 1280c1024?

Paul.

Try it with "gtf 1280 1024 60".
If your monitor really supports it, it should work. You can then add a configuration file with that mode in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, or just add it towards the end of /etc/gdm/Init/Default (just before the exit command).

Thanks George. I'll give that a try next time I'm out there. Hopefully sometime early next week.
