Hello,
I'm running debian lenny here on a G4 processor with ATI Rage 128
graphic card. All works fine up to now except the xserver screen
resolution. It seems to be fixed to 800x600 and I can't find where / how
to change it. My monitor supports 1280x1024, and KDE on 800x600 sucks...
Although I googled up and down the net I didn't find a working solution
to my problem.
Anyone here knows what I must do to get this fixed?
I'm still a newbie on linux, so I'd be glad to receive some more
detailed support. ;)
Thanks,
Dirk
It only gets worse. I've got a G4 PowerMac with an ATI Rage 128 card
running squeeze with an xorg.conf (attached -- maybe it will help you,
Dirk) that worked fine under Lenny, but now gdm won't start at all.
I can supply log files if somebody wants to help debug this problem...
Try changing this:
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "880x660" "800x600" "760x608" "720x400"
"640x480"
EndSubSection
To:
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
And try duplicating it and changing the 16 to 24
IIRC I wasn't able to get 1280x1024 to work, that's why I put in the
Radeon (which does work).
