Subject: [gentoo-user] OT - gdm screen resolution problem
Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2006 03:56:44
Message-Id: 1157321256.14364.4.camel@camille.espersunited.com
1 I've done some research, but haven't been able to find anything that
2 works for my sitch. I use the themed gdm screen as my login to GNOME.
3 The problem is that the only thing I can see on the gdm screen is the
4 username and password boxes. I think the screen resolution is too low
5 (possibly 640x480?) However, when I get into GNOME, my screen
6 resolution is set at the correct 1024x768. I found one site that
7 suggested running gdmsetup, switching from Theme to Plain, and logging
8 out, then logging back in and switching back to Theme in gdmsetup, but
9 that didn't work for me. How can I get gdm back to the right size?
10 Here's my xorg.conf:
