Hi guys I'm running Ubuntu dapper on my Pegasos g4. I've added 1680x1040 to my mode line in xorg.conf - however, I cannot get that mode to appear in my screenmode preference. I have no way of getting this mode. Can someone please help so I can use Ubuntu on my Dell 20' widescreen monitor? tia magnetic |

hi magnetic ! it's quite weird, i always added the resolution i wanted into xorg.conf without any problem, can you paste your xorg.conf here ? |

sure it's not 1680x1050 ? FWIW... Here's my Ubuntu (Dapper/Edgy) xorg.conf settings for a Samsung 215TW (1680x1050) with an Intel chipset: Code:
Section "Device"
Also, I have to use the 915resolution program to set the BIOS mode 5a to 1680x1050 instead of 1600x1200 before gdm starts.Identifier "Intel1" Driver "i810" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" Option "MonitorLayout" "NONE,CRT" Option "DevicePrecense" "true" VideoRam 128000 Option "ForceBios" "1600x1200=1680x1050" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "215TW" HorizSync 30-81 VertRefresh 56-75 Mode "1680x1050" DotClock 146.250000 HTimings 1680 1784 1960 2240 Vtimings 1050 1053 1059 1089 Flags "+HSync" "-Vsync" EndMode Option "DPMS" EndSection It probably won't apply to your Pegasos since it's for an Intel based laptop, but maybe it can give you some hints in which direction to search. |

apm is right, the accurate resolution for this kind of screen is 1680x1050 just change it in your xorg.conf then reboot (or kill X) it should work then. |

Thomas, did you want to try that with an EFIKA? You have been a hard working super-user and Genesi promoter for a long time. What would you do with an EFIKA? R&B :D |
