Difficulty configuring X
I emerged xorg yesterday, and am having a bit of difficulty configuring it to run at 1024x768. I have a Dell Inspiron 1100 with an A32 bios, and have set all the Modes in my xorg.conf file to 1024x768, but it remains at 640x480. I'll post my xorg.conf file as soon as I'm done downloading mozilla. Anyone have any suggestions on what I could try till then? Thanks.

Odd, your xorg.conf looks different from Ubuntu's. Maybe in the Slackware forums can help better. Mine looks like this:
Code:
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following commands:
#
# cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.custom
# sudo sh -c 'md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf >/var/lib/xfree86/xorg.conf.md5sum'
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Thanks for posting your xorg.conf. Sorry, I haven't updated my profile. This is a newly installed gentoo system. I'll check there. Thanks for your help.
