[XFree86] I cannot change my X resolution.

Kyle -- Sun, 15 Jun 2003 07:31:55 -0700

My X resolution is stuck at 640x480. If I edit the XF86Config to change the default resolution, my X server crashes until It is set back to 640x480. I have tried numerous things. I have upgraded the video card driver and changed it from 16 bit to 8 bit color. Still no effect or a negative effect. Well for me 640x480 is just not acceptable but for some reason that seems to be the only resolution it likes. I donṫ understand, under windows I could have 16 million colors and have the resolution at 1400x?. I've included a copy of my XF86Config file, the output of "XFree86 -version", and my video card. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. # ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Graphics Card: Intel® 82845G Graphics Controller # ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ X version XFree86 Version 4.2.0 (Red Hat Linux release: 4.2.0-72) / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600) Release Date: 23 January 2002 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.
