screen resolution & xvesa restoring

[violin-key]

Hi,
I've bought a Monitor with 1366x768 resolution, that is not listed on Xorg and Xvesa resolutions possibilities.
How to get the right resolution?

And then: I've every used Xvesa, but trying to change resolution I've choosen Xorg and now I can not go back to Xvesa. Clicking setup - xvesa video card it says: "Xvesa X server is not currently running. Select the Xorg Video Wizard."
?

No clue about selegting the freaky resolution in xorg. You might have a chance editing the xorg.conf file directly. It is in /etc/X11/ try to find the list of available resolutions there and add your own manually.

To get to xvesa just exit to prompt and type xorgwizard- then you can change to xvesa if you want.

At the command line type this case sensitive command:

Xvesa -listmodes

This will show you what Xvesa resolutions and color depths should be readily available to you.

Ok, I've found the way to return in Xvesa.
Now:

- where is the file in /etc/X11 with the available resolutions? I've looked for it, but with no luck.

- I tried with

Code: Select all

Xvesa -listmode

and "my" resolution was not listed. But perhaps I can change the monitor resolutions list manually??

The -listmodes is dynamically generated when you run the command.

If it is an Intel chip then maybe you can do your own settings.

Run 915resulotion to learn more - if you think you have an Intel chip.

thank to Bruce.
Now,

yes, it is!

well, with

Code: Select all

915resolution -l

I've seen, that no mode is with 1366x768.
I've tried with

Code: Select all

915resolution mode 1366x768

but nothing changed, something wrong?
