I am running Slackware 10.1. I just got a new monitor, and am trying to change the default screen res.<br>
<br>
I went in and edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and put in the new horizontal
and vertical refresh rates, and added the new, "1280x1024" to the Modes
line for each defined Display subsection.<br>
<br>
I have restarted the machine, several times by now.<br>
<br>
When I pull up KDE Control Center, the maximum screen res is the old 1024x768. Running the command xdpyinfo shows the same.<br>
<br>
-----<br>
<br>
The following two pieces are from the modified xorg.conf. I changed the 'Modes' line on all the Display subsections.<br>
<br>
Section "Screen"<br>
Identifier "Screen0"<br>
Device "Card0"<br>
Monitor "Monitor0"<br>
DefaultDepth 24<br>
SubSection "Display"<br>
Viewport 0 0<br>
Depth 1<br>
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"<br>
EndSubSection<br>
<br>
<br>
Section "Monitor"<br>
#DisplaySize 320 240 # mm<br>
Identifier "Monitor0"<br>
VendorName "Acer"<br>
ModelName "AL1914b"<br>
Option "DPMS"<br>
HorizSync 24-80<br>
VertRefresh 49-75<br>
EndSection<br>
<br>
---------<br>
<br>
I left the rest of xorg.conf the same.<br>
<br>
Can someone tell me what I'm missing?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
