[SOLVED] Why I just can get higher resolution as rooter??

[aixilin]

I am using debian and have a headache problem to get a higher resolution for my new screen.
The old resolution is 1024*768, now I want to get 1280*1024. I add mode line in xorg.conf file. It likes this:

Section "Modes"
Identifier "Modes[0]"
Modeline "1280x1024" 108.88 1280 1360 1496 1712 1024 1025 1028 1060
Modeline "1280x1024" 106.97 1280 1360 1496 1712 1024 1025 1028 1059
Modeline "1280x1024" 105.15 1280 1360 1496 1712 1024 1025 1028 1059
EndSection

But when I restart x-server as a normal user, it get a fatal error information .

(WW)The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" does not exist.
Entry deleted from font path.
(WW) The directory "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic" does not exist.

(**) Option "Xinerama" "off"
(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)

The interesting thing is I can get higher resolution when I startx as a root....
I don't know what happen with my debian.. Any suggestion is appreciate..

I have reconfigure the xorg.conf by
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
I can get the higher resolution but just for rooter and I can't use mouse anymore.

I didn't try nv driver...Do you mean I should reinstall the driver?

I just tried install the nv driver..The version for FX5200 is NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12-pkg1.run..

But it failed to compile the kernel interface...It's really bad...

Hello..

Although I failed to install nv driver...I find it when I configure the xorg.conf file...So this time I choose it...After that,,I still have lower resolution and the mouse still can't move.

But I find some interesting things in the log file..

I find the driver for fx5200 and find the resolution for which is perfect for my computer .(108MHz maximum pixel counts)..So I change something about mouse setting..Now I log in and can see 1280*1024 in the "screen resolution "...Now I get it..


Tks...very much!!

[devils casper]

Well done and Glad to help you !
