https://www.centos.org – So now that /etc/X11/xorg.conf isn't being used, where can I specify the display resolution, such as 800x600? I used to do it in a kickstart, but now I don't know where this setting is... [by jpeery] (HowTos)

I have an eee 901 (with its tiny screen) and just bought a separate LCD screen. I tried to set the screen resolution with gnome-display-properties, but the maximum in the drop-down menu is 800x600 pixel. How can I change this?

I checked the xorg.conf, but it is more or less empty.

This is on 9.04

Per.

I have an TV screen which I would like to attach to my laptop with the right resolution. Just because this is basic stuff I searched and found a lot about the xorg.conf file, modelines and so on.

My Screen has a resolution of 1920 to 1080 pixels and I created this xorg.conf

But in the nvidia settings no trace of this resolution appears.

What is wrong about this? Any Ideas?

Hi my Ubuntu has developed a strange problem.

[PPC] ibook g3 resolution 3 years 8 weeks ago

hi.

i installed a minimal ubuntu os onto my ibook g3 and have since installed gnome and a few other things necessary. my problem is screen resolution. im stuck with 800x600 and have tried adding resolutions using xorg.conf file and with xrandr but i cant seem to get it to work.

Howdy,

Several months ago I got a Dell laptop with Ubuntu pre-installed. I fell in love.. So when the desktop died, I set up a dual boot system hoping to spend most of my time in Ubuntu. But no..

The max resolution I am allowed is 800x600. This seems to be coming from a probe of the Intel 82G33/G31. My xorg.conf is set for the Qptiquest Q9 correctly.

I was using Fedora 10 with this same system and got the 1024x768 that I wanted but when I went to fedora 11 I only got 800x600. After installing fedora 12 the same.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 on my Lenovo G575 (64 bit). I was using my computer with the 1366x768 display resolution. I changed the display resolution of my computer to the 800x600 yesterday, then I tried to return it back to 1366x768, but I couldn't. When I try to change resolution, it's getting dark and it crashes. Then nothing happens. So I need to restart to open my computer.

I have Virtualbox 4.1.2_ubuntur3859 installed on an Ubuntu 11.10 host, running a guest ubuntu server 10.04 with xfce4 and xorg installed with no-install-recommends.

I have installed guest additions, but the maximum resolution in the display settings is 800x600.

I have read related questions:

Install F12 undere kvm 3 years 32 weeks ago

Hi, I'm currently running F11 and I have installed a F12 kvm virtual machine using virt-manager. The installation completes but with the default configuration my F12 guest can't do any resolution higher to 1024x768 and I'd like too use my native resolution 1280x800.
