# So my question is--why is Gnome loading in 800x600 resolution, when
# I don't have it set differently in this file? What am I missing
# here?
Look at your X log in /var/log/; it may contain messages about how the
modes you've requested are not supported by your monitor, which means
either your monitor doesn't support those resolutions or X doesn't
know enough about your monitor to make an informed decision. For
example, in my xorg.conf file I have:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 31-80
VertRefresh 56-75
EndSection
The sync / refresh rates are in the monitor's manual. "Option 'DPMS'"
is enough for some monitors, but I always specify the rates manually
to be sure that X works correctly.
