Hello,

I've problems configuring my X-Server correctly. I emerged successfully the nvidia driver for my geforce3 and changed the opengl device (upengl-update nvidia).
The Server is running fine but not in the resolution that I want. I can change and do everything but I dont not get a higher resolution as 1024x768.

Here ist a link to my XF86Config:

After reading some other threads I figured out that the XServer writes it logfiles into /var/logs (makes sense to me

). So i take a look at it and found the reason. The horizontal refreh was to low to use 1600x1200. So I corrected the hsync value (using the ones from the manufacturer of my monitor) and it worked.

Think I better have look first in the logfiles when something doesn't works

Thanks anyway .....

Best regards,
