Assuming you haven't had any luck with the other suggestions regarding redhat-config-xfree86, some things to look at (in no specific order)
1) Does your monitor def have freq ranges that would allow higher res? Look in /usr/share/hwdata/MonitorsDB to see if you can find the info for your monitor. 2) Is your card def complete. (Check /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Cards for your card.) Does it reflect the full amount of video RAM? i.e. is there a "VideoRAM" line in the def. If so is it accurate ? Considering running at a lower color depth until you get the resolution worked out. 3) In your Screen/Display subsection, list the modes from lowest to highest. e.g. Modes "640x480" "800x600" ... X will start with the low res which you know works. You can then step your way up to the higher resolutions using "Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Plus". This may save some debugging time. (See the man page for XFree86 for other useful key claws" 4) "Ctrl+Alt+Backspace" kills the current X server. If you're at run level 5, you can quickly try different config scenarios by modifying the config file then using the claw to restart the server. 5) Check out http://www.xfree86.org/ - Paul On Tue, 2003-09-16 at 16:27, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > * and then Lists declared.... > > If that isn't available, have you tried to manually edit > > /etc/X11/XF86Config ?
