Settting maximum screen resolution
|
|
| Michael Chare 2004-11-09, 5:45 pm |
| I am running a new test release of Debian to get support for my Silicon Image
SATA chipset.
This has configured my system so that the maximum screen resolution I can set is
800x600.
My hardware supports up to 1600x1200.
How to I configure my system to get some more pixels on the screen?
Does XF86Setup still exist? if so where might I find it?

You should've been given the chance to set this up when X was installed. If
you missed it you can go through it again with:
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
An alternative is to edit the modes lines in the screen section of your
XF86Config-4 file:
Modes "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

Many thanks I have now got it to work properly

I did a search and could not find this file.

I didn't have a Debian box with X installed booted at the time. :-)
For reference and off the top of my head I think it's in /etc/X11. You might
have XF86Config instead of XF86Config-4.
