Hi!

I've been trying to make my Laptop LCD screen draw a true full screen other than it's native one (1680x1050). Now, when I try it only draws the dots (ex. 800x600) and then fills the rest with black.

I've tried adding the line DisplaySize <xwidth> <ywidth>, but then X won't start...

This is the screen part of my xorg.conf.

Code:
Section "Screen"
   Identifier "Screen0"
   Device     "Card0"
   Monitor    "Monitor0"
   #DisplaySize 330 210
   DefaultDepth 24
   SubSection "Display"
      Viewport   0 0
      Depth     24
      Modes   "1680x1050 1280x1024 1024x768 800x600"
   EndSubSection
   SubSection "Display"
      Viewport   0 0
      Depth     16
      Modes   "1680x1050 1280x1024 1024x768 800x600"
   EndSubSection
EndSection

Are you sure the corrent refresh rate and vertical sync for your screen are correct in the Monitor section? You might be able to find that info from your laptop's manufacturer's website.

I haven't entered those. I haven't been able to find out what they are. I've asked the supplier (DELL) but they couldn't help me, they don't even give support on linux. I know I have a WSXGA+ LCD screen. The refresh rate is 60 Hz though (is that the same as horisync?).
