Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 2:1.4-3
Severity: minor
1. I tried to mail this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but that apparently goes to
/dev/null. I need a bug number apparently. OK.
2. Bug: xorg.conf and xorg man pages say something like
It is possible to switch to the next mode with Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Plus
and to the previous mode with Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Minus.
OK, but laptops don't have keypads. Say what to do then.
Does the IBM Thinkpad r50e have a way to turn the "+" I see on the "/"
on? There also is a "-" on the ";" key. Mention the secret method on
the man page as an example of any way in the world to switch modes.
3. I cannot figure out
A. how to tell what current mode I am in, 1024x768 or 800x600. I
can guess but I don't know what command will tell me for sure.
Is this what mode I am in now?:
$ grep mode /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) intel(0): Output LVDS using initial mode 1024x768
B. I cannot get this xorg.conf to get me into 800x600 mode.
Please tell me what to do to make it start up in 800x600. Thank
you.
