Screen size problem

k i just recently install 10.0 and fixed my xf86config file and when it starts up the screen resolution is huge like 320x200 and i looked in the control center to change the size the only option it gave me was that size(320x200) so is there anyway to fix that?, did something screw up on the install? any help would great thx

10.0 uses xorg.conf, not XF86Config. Run xorgconfig from the command line.

Hi!

Try to change the resolution in /etc/X11/xorg.conf manually like below (change "Depth", "Modes" for your needs):

Code:

# **********************************************************************
# Screen sections
# **********************************************************************

Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes       "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection

When I ran xorgconfig for the first time I inputted my own values for the horizontal and vertical scan ranges (obtain from my monitor's documentation) as well as the size of my video cards memory. When I got to the part where xorgconfig displays available resolutions for the different colour depths, it had picked up on my monitor's optimum resolution (1280x1024) . Of course you can change these before xorgconfig finishes. Although directly manipulating the xorg.conf file is probably a quicker way.
