915resolution

[O. Sinclair]

Derek,
let's sort of start from the beginning. I am, as I pointed out, not very
clear of how xorg.conf works. Parts of it seems clear enough, others sort of
jibberish. To me, that is.

What I want to achieve is 1400 * 1050 resolution on a 4:3 Dell LCD laptop
screen. It is of course using 60 hz then. Anything else is in basically
unnecessary. At the moment the maximum I get is 1280 * 1024 60 no matter
what I try.

I have tried some of your various advice and also some other things. In
"System Settings", "Display" you have "Hardware" section. It was after I
changed there that I got all these modelines, virtual and whatnot in
xorg.conf.

After that I went back to original xorg.conf that I had saved. I have since
changed it after running "gtf 1400 1050 60" to be as follows; this has
however had no impact on what resolution I get;

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device"
    Driver        "i810"
    BusID        "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier    "Laptop Monitor"
    Option        "DPMS"
    # 1400x1050 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 65.22 kHz; pclk: 122.61 MHz
     Modeline "1400x1050_60.00"  122.61  1400 1488 1640 1880  1050 1051 1054
1087  -HSync +Vsync
    HorizSync    28-70
    VertRefresh    43-60
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier    "Default Screen"
    Device        "Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device"
    Monitor        "Laptop Monitor"
    DefaultDepth    16
    SubSection "Display"
        Depth        24
        Modes        "1400x1050_60" "1024x768"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Any ideas are appreciated. The 915resolution came up because I read
"somewhere" that this is the only way to make this card/screen work in
intended resolution.

Regards,
Sinclair
