resolution

[joha]

Hei

I have some problems with the resolution, I can not get it higher than 800x600, even when I have put it in the file /etc/X11/1org.conf:

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "ATI Technologies, Inc. 3D Rage II+ 215GTB [Mach64 GTB]" Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 1
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 4
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 15
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

But when I want set set size to 1024x768 I get the message :
debian:~# xrandr --size 1024x768
Size 1024x768 not found in available modes

And it is not available:

debian:~# xrandr
SZ: Pixels Physical Refresh
*0 800 x 600 ( 212mm x 159mm ) *72 60 56
1 640 x 480 ( 212mm x 159mm ) 60
2 640 x 384 ( 212mm x 159mm ) 60

4 512 x 384 ( 212mm x 159mm ) 60
5 400 x 300 ( 212mm x 159mm ) 72 60 56
6 320 x 240 ( 212mm x 159mm ) 60
Current rotation - normal
Current reflection - none
Rotations possible - normal

I don't know what to do. I even went reconfigured the xserver-xorg.

I did it by adding 1024*768 for the depth 24 bit in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file.

First, if you use are using Debian Unstable, you better have a fairly good (if not excelllent) knowledge of Debian, because you will encouter problems from time to time.

That being said, did you check X log ?

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE

or

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | tail

or even

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep 1024

and

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i resolution

etc.
