<Solved>New Monitor: A Few Questions

[Ray2047]

Monitor is an Asus wide screen 198D. I am happy with it but wondered if it can be tweaked better.

When I went in to PCC I could not find Asus listed under Vendors. Is it under another name or is it just something there aren't specific listings for? I set it up as a flat screen 1440X900, the primary setting for my monitor. However the highest resolution for my video card, C61 [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a, in KCC is 1024X768. Any way to get to the primary resolution without changing the card (actually onboard chip)? Currently using the GeForce 6100 driver. Should I use a different driver.

Note same results as KCC running Xdrake.

you can go to "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" and manually set the resolution to the one you want if you cant from PCC.

Make a backup copy of the file first before modifying it.

you should put the entire content of xorg.conf file

To further clarify what muungwana is saying, an example would be:

Subsection "Display"
        Depth 24
        Modes "1440x900" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "640x480" "480x360" "320x240"
    EndSubsection


Add the "1440x900" value to each Depth section.
