| 308196 | 2004-12-28 09:25:00 | Arg, they're not on the CD and ATI only seems to support XFree86. What do I do to get 800x600? |

| 308197 | 2004-12-28 09:28:00 | Your monitor might not of been detected correctly. Try running this from a root terminal system-config-display. Failing that, post the "Section "Monitor" and "Section "Screen" parts from running this command from a terminal window: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf You might have to dig out your monitor manual to check the correct HorizSync and VertRefresh rates are set. |

| 308198 | 2004-12-28 09:53:00 | It lets me change it to 1024x768, but when I log out and log back in it doesn't actually enter that resolution :(. I think it is because it only seems to have drivers for 'Radeon 9600' and 'Radeon 9600 Pro' - no SE drivers. And the ATI site don't have them either. I think that could be the cause. But how do I get them? Edit: Monitor is correctly detected as Philips 105B. Cheers George |

| 308199 | 2004-12-28 10:49:00 | Drivers are generic for the lot - It doesnt matter..... They do all the ATI Cards off the one driver. try running xf86config as root :-) Chill. |

| 308200 | 2004-12-28 10:55:00 | I get command not found for that Chill... | george12 (7) | ||
| 308201 | 2004-12-29 05:39:00 | Hi George You still stuck with the low resolution? Did you completely shutdown X so that it could re-read the xorg.conf (not just log out to the login window again)? Going to runlevel 3 and then starting X again or simply rebooting the machine will also do this. You could try re-running the xorg semi-automatic configuration command as root: xorgconfig If you still have the problem, please post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf here. |

| 308202 | 2004-12-29 05:45:00 | When did it change to that? I just ran it too and yeah... Did they change that with the recent 6.8 whatever xorg release? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 308203 | 2004-12-29 06:02:00 | You could try re-running the xorg semi-automatic configuration command as root: xorgconfigHmm .... command not found with that on my machine - Oops. :blush: Couldn't remember the command so I ran off to the Gentoo site and took a peek at their xorg section and didn't try it here first. FC3 has X.Org version: 6.8.1. Nevermind, just post your xorg.conf here as it is easier to hack the xorg file manually to make any tweakes required for your resolution. |
