i am using the 5c thats the one i entered in the /usr/sbin/915resolution

i also removed that force bios option because it was doing nothing... or atleast i felt that way.. so i removed it.. before it was in there it still did nothing... tell me what you guys think

i have set this up many times before and im sure i always had to add a line into /etc/X11/xorg.conf that was something along the lines of Modeline "1280x800" 80.14 1280 1344 1480 1680 768 769 772 795
I also needed to add 915resolution into a startup script to make the machine launch it when it boots up.
added the line :
915resolution 43 1280 800
into /etc/init.d/rcS
(in my case i had chose to use 43 rather than 5c like you did. It should not make a different though).

just looking at my current conf file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and i cannot see the modeline in there though (but my machine is running in 1280x800)

extract from my xorg.conf below:

If you search around the forum you should find a bunch of info in realtion to this. I remmeber making a post on how i got 915resolution to work in Ubuntu 6.06 when it was released - i just cannot find it now

see the only thing is.. i want to run higher resolution than that... i know this laptop runs high ass resolution and i dunno why this is just not working with me...

trying so many things and still nothing
