I know very little about the command line linux like editing xorg.conf or something like that. I opened the xorg.conf file, but everything seems obscure to me...
Anyway, I have changed the resolution by NVidia Display Settings menu which appeared after installing the proprietory driver. But the screen seems to be flickering. I used to run windows xp/vista with the same settings 1024x768,32bit,60Hz On Tue, Dec 16, 2008 at 10:52 PM, Tareq Siraj <to_ta...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hi Imtiaz, > Is 800x600 hard coded in your xorg.conf?
