Re: X, resolutions [was: /tmp/xerrors]



Hi,

It seems that there are no other resolutions to switch to.

are you sure that you defined more than one resolution for the mode ? are
you sure that you defined the modelines for all the resolutions you want ?
AFAIK the modeline definitions are neccessary for X to use the resolution,
they are also used to save the exact parameters of each resolution (width
& height of screen, offsets, frequencies etc.). Without modelines (even if
X would create them on the fly and calculate the frequencies) no changes
made by xvidtune or other programs like it could be saved.

Some things you could try:
start your computer in non-graphical way (e.g. without xdm or kdm or
similar things), log on as user and start X manually (X, startx, Xwrapper,
whatever works on your system) and look on the error messages the X server
produces on the console. Look for messages that talk about missing
modelines or other definition things.

try to use xf86config (I think it comes with the even most primitive X
installation).

Do you run the X server as root or as user ?
