LCD Samsung SyncMaster 2232GW display setup ??

2008-08-01 Thread William Case
Hi;

I have a brand new LCD Samsung SyncMaster 2232GW Monitor. The
system-config-display does not have this exact LCD display registered.
It does offer the option of a Generic 1680 X 1050 LCD  Display.  However
when I choose this and re-log in, everything remains unchanged at
Generic Monitor 1600 X 1200 (my previous CRT setting).  I would like to
get the 1680 x 1050 resolution on the Linux side of my dual boot system.

I would manually change my xorg.conf file, but man xorg.conf remains
silent about how to input the monitor specifics for a LCD plus adding
its resolution sizes.

My graphics card is nvidia, Aug 01 17:21:24 Updated:
kmod-nvidia-2.6.25.11-97.fc9.x86_64-173.14.12-2.lvn9.x86_64

It should work.

Have you set your screen resolution preferences?  That's a personal
setting, separate from the display configuration.  For Gnome, look in
the personal hardware preferences sub-menu.

Yes personal preferences were set to 1680 x 1050.  I guess I confused
myself because the icons etc. appeared bigger and cleaner than I
expected.  However, I have lost my trash icon.  gConfig-editor =
Nautilus doesn't restore it. -- ??  That's a minor problem for tomorrow.

But it still begs the question; why doesn't xorg.conf reflect the
addition of my new LCD display?
