<div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I also have an i915 graphics controller with a strange resolution (1366x768). I found that it would not work quite properly until I used ModeLine <-- Note the capitol "L". I don't know if it was absolutely necessary, but it didn't work properly until I did that. </blockquote></div> Hi, I chaged this Modeline to ModeLine and rebooted the system. For some reason, the Xserver did not start. When I looked into the file, I had uncommented some comment, so changed it and started X with "startx". Amazingly it went into the 1280x800 mode. Then, I rebooted the system so that the system would directly enter into the gdm mode, but this time, it was only showing 1024x768 :-( I did the exercise once by uninstalling 915resolution and again installing it, but of no use. Suspecting that gdm might be caching something, I looked into thie gdm.conf file and found that .Xauthority may be doing something, so deleted the file and rebooted the machine. No use. Then, I again made X err, and got to the command line and did a startx. This time it went into the 1280x800 mode. I did another exercise. I uninstalled 915resolution, and rebooted the machine to make X err, and did a startx. This time, the system went into the 1024x768 mode. :( Here are my files: <a href="http://www.rootshell.be/~nagap/Xorg.log">http://www.rootshell.be/~nagap/Xorg.log</a> <a href="http://www.rootshell.be/~nagap/xorg.conf">http://www.rootshell.be/~nagap/xorg.conf</a> Is GDM doing something behind? --NaGp.
