Check your "ServerFlags" Section in the XF86Config. Make sure that "DontZoom" option is commented, like this:
| Code: | | # Option "DontZoom" |
Also your "screen" section should have the modes defined.
For example my screen section looks like this:
| Code: |
Section "Screen"
Identifier "SUN"
Device "Dummy VideoCard"
Monitor "External Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
|
Also take a look at /var/log/XFree86.0.log. To make sure that the "HorizSync" and "VertRefresh" are not out of range for all the defined modes. During the start the new X(4.2.99) scans all of them. If one of them is "out of sync", it won't be used later.
Success

You can also use the xrandr command ... although I dont want you to hold me responsible if it destroys something, ok 
..will list all the modes
..will set the highest mode (from the list)
| Code: | | xrandr -s 1024x768 -r 60 |
..will use 1024x768 and refreshrate 60Hz.
It worked for me, good luck. |
