 Posted: Sun Oct 10, 2004 5:58 pm Post subject: x.org only runs in 1280x1024? |
 |
|
| I am having this weird problem, where X will only run in 1280x1024. If I try to run it in 800x600 or 1024x768, the screen is shrunk, but the resolution is still the same. I have tried going back to 6.7 because I thought that was the issue, but 6.7 wont even run any more, saying it can't load my ati's drivers. I thought it might be a kernel issue, because I was booting the kernel in 1280x1024 resolution, but after switching that to 640, x still only starts in high res. Any ideas what the problem could be? |

how about posting the xorg configuration?
how about posting specs of your monitor (lcd,crt)?
how about posting specs of your gfx card?
etc, etc... |

I have an ati radeon 7500, micron 19 inch crt monitor.
At some point the scaling was working right, I'm not sure when it stopped working... |

Your Monitor section looks really weird. On a Iiyama 17" screen, here are the values I have: | Code: | Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor1"
HorizSync 27.0-96.0
VertRefresh 50-160
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
|
I imagine that it is your HorizSync which limits the resolutions your screen can switch to. I would look at your screen specs, change your xorg.conf and try again. |

Well thanks for the thought, I have tried many settings there, including what the sticker on the back of my monitor says with no luck  I'm pretty sure I didn't have this problem before I upgraded to 6.8... I'll see if I can figure out why 6.7 wont work anymore |

If you want to only run at a lower resolution, you could just delete the 1280x1024 out of xorg.conf.
| Code: | Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection |
This will make it so that it can't go higher than say 1024x768.

Right, but I've already tried that, it has the same problem. It's stuck in one resolution! If I go 1024x768 the upper left corner has the screen and the rest is black. And all the text gets really small. It's really weird. I don't think it's the monitor, but I'm really at a loss where the problem is. kernel, x.org, video drivers, etc. I've remade my x.org configuration and tweaked that a lot so I'm pretty sure its not something in there. I think I'm going to tweak my use settings and reemerge x, I'm just worried it wont work like when I tried to downgrade x.org again. But I still have the quickpkg so heh, it's worth a shot  |

| Which version of X are you using? And what is your xorg.conf? |
