Re: increasing screen resolution, nvidia xconf.org
Hey everyone, I've realized that while the graphics card supports up to 1500x*, the actual LCD screen in the laptop only supports 1024x768. A Seiko screen. Thanks to everyone for the help! tomislav 2009/12/5 Alexander Kaphuk sashaandta...@gmail.com Please see an email below for a solution to a similar problem I had with the screen resolution not being detected properly on a HP Compaq Presario laptop.

In the snipped section above commenting out vert and horz refresh lines and adding a modeline for resolution should work. And what's the least painful way of producing such a modeline for a given monitor? My 22 is still not running at full res. TIA -- Nuno Magalhães

There is online utility for generating specific modeline.

Increasing Screen Resolution
My screen resolution is currently 1024x768. The desired resolution is 1280x1024. I have dpkg-reconfigure'd xserver-xfree86, edited /etc/X11/XF86Config, edited /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, and experimented with KRandR. The only mode that is still present is 1280x1024, however 1024x768 is still used. Nothing I have done has changed this. Needless to say, I need help. What can I do to increase my screen resolution to 1280x1024?

I don't recall you mentioning what video chipset you have. It may be that you have something like an nVidia, and you're using the Free nv driver, when those other distros were using the proprietary nVidia driver.

Bob, You may need to check your monitor specifications, and set the monitor frequencies accordingly using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86. dpkg-reconfigure asks you how simple you want questions about your monitor to be. If you choose a more complex option, you'll get to alter frequencies, etc. Sorry if this is badly explained. I'm tired.

I never knew that, and is handy to know. The problem was actually that I didn't have the horizontal sync rate set high enough. Monitor supports upto 65kHz, but I had the upper limit at 60kHz, hence it would jump up to the higher resolution.
