Since moving from xorg-server 1.5.3 (?) to 1.6, xorg has gone back to an |
2 |
old behaviour of refusing the resolution I need (I switch using xrandr). |
3 |
|
4 |
Video chipset is i915 in a sony vaio with a 1366x768 screen. I am |
5 |
trying to use an external LCD monitor with 1280x1024 native resolution. |
6 |
|
7 |
Problem is xorg see's that 768 is the maximum on the laptop LCD, and |
8 |
wont see the higher resolution(s) on the external monitor, which now |
9 |
looks exceptionally crappy (I am not concerned with what the laptop |
10 |
screen is doing when I am using the external - it used to overscan when |
11 |
on 1280x768) |
12 |
|
13 |
Ive removed the xorg.conf, but had to put back the driver stanza (only) |
14 |
as it kept trying to load the i810 instead of intel driver. |
