Subject: [gentoo-user] OT - Funky Screen Resolution
Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2006 13:32:38
Message-Id: 1161955595.9363.30.camel@camille.gateway.2wire.net
1 My wife's computer is having a screen resolution problem in gnome. The
2 only screen resolutions available are 856x480 and 640x480. I don't
3 understand this, as I have set in her xorg.conf file to only allow
4 1024x768 and 800x600 . Where is this coming from? She uses modular X.
5 Here is her /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:

211 Please help. xdm on my wife's computer has been shut down for two days
212 so that I could run an emerge -ND world to get rid of xmms stuff (the
213 computer hangs on emerging qt if I don't shut down all non-essentials.)
214 My wife prefers 1024x768, but I can't figure out why she doesn't have
215 it...
