The card is an "Intel 965G" It has linux drivers that are installed and working. I tried configuring it with sax2, that did not work. I have been playing with the xorg.conf file and have made some progress with xrandr which gives me the status as: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1280 x 1280 VGA connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 376mm x 301mm 1024x768 75.1 + 70.1 60.0 1280x1024 60.0 + 75.0 59.9 1152x864 75.0 74.8 832x624 74.6 800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 75.0 72.8 66.7 60.0 720x400 70.1 1024x768_60 60.0* LVDS connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 246mm x 185mm 1024x768 50.0*+ 60.0 40.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 60.0 59.9 (notice that on the first line: "maximum [resalution =] 1280 x 1280" But this does not match my config file. From xorg.conf: .... Section "Screen" Identifier "LScreen" Device "Intel 965G" Monitor "monitor-LVDS" SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" Virtual 2304 2304 EndSubSection EndSection .. This is the only screen section, and notice the "Virtual 2304 2304"... When I run: $xrandr --output VGA --right-of LVDS (which apears to be the command I want) I get: xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1280x1280 (desired size 2048x768) I have restarted the computer with the hope that this will take effect, but it did not. How do I get my virtual screen size to change? (note that sax2 is probably not a good option as I just ripped out a lot of its extra stuff) Thanks, -Jesse
