try lowering the depth to 16 bpp. Depending on your graphics card, the 
higher resolutions are not supported in 24 bpp.

Do you see any warnings in /var/log/XFree86.0.log about skipped modelines?

Hmm, maybe this will help:

I've seen this problem before on a NEC Versa, the vesa bios doesn't know
about 1400x1050, this tool allows you to change one of the available
resolutions to 1400x1050 (I changed 1920xsomething,
LCD can't display any higher anyway).

HTH,

nevertheless, the KDE-tool (Resize and Rotate -.5 using KDE 3.2.3)
offers me 1280x1024 as maximum.

Assuming that your driver supports that resolution, you can just add it 
to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

howto set resolution to 1400x1050 on Toshiba M200?

2005-04-29 Thread Ulrich Scholz 
Hi,

I'm running Debian testing on my Toshiba Portégé M200.  This laptop
has a maximal screen resolution of 1400x1050 but KDE presents 1280x1024
as maximal resolution.

How can I change to the maximal screen size?

(Please note that I'm not experienced in configuring Debian/Linux/X.
I've done some search on the Internet and in news groups but couldn't
find easy to follow instructions.)

Thank you, Uli
