Can't Change Display Resolution

I have a 19 inch Wide Screen monitor that can run at 1440x900, but I can't get KDE to show that resolution.

The xorg.conf file is correct. It shows my correct monitor as well as resolution.

But when I try to make the changed in the Configure Desktop utility's Display section I don't get the choice of my wide screen resolution the highest is 1024x768.

RE: Can't Change Display Resolution

Sorry folks out there if this is a noddy problem, but I am struggling with the same......
Have tried change-res and fix-res with no luck and screen=1280x1024 at boot.

Anyone who can take a moment to help hertz60 would probably be helping both of us!

Cheers

Matt

Do you still have the problem?

Have you tried 915resolution? I don't have an Intel card so I cannot comment on it, but it often seems to be the solution.

Have you tried creating a new modeline entry for xorg.conf and using it? If not, run this in Konsole:

Source code

 
1

 gtf 1440 900 60

Add the resulting line to the Monitor section and make sure it's listed in the Display section. You can change the name if necessary.

RE: Can't Change Display Resolution

With the update of OpenSuse 10.2 to 10.3, the problem was solved.
