I have problem with my rosolution.
My computer rosolution is 800x600, but i wan to change it into 1024x768.
I have try the redhat-config-xfree86 command, but it doesn't work.

Acutually, i can get into the display setting after i type redhat-config-xfree86, and i also changed the rosolution from 800*600 to 1024*768. However, the second time i went into the display setting, i found that the rosolution stay the same as 800*600. What's up?

Just now, i also try to edit etc/X11/XF86Config file with vi.
1, I login as root.
2, From that file, it seems that there are only two rovolution availalbe for the
Linux systems, which are 800x600 and 640x480.
3, I insert the 1024x768 rovolution into the file, and save it.
4, After that, i use the redhat-config-xfree86 to set rovolution as 1024x768.
5, Finally, the rovolution always stay as 800x600.
Which means the problem is still here.

Somebody Help.

If you haven't already, you should definitely have a look at ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Li...496/README.txt for some excellent info on configuring the nvidia drivers. If you are not using the latest nvidia drivers, you should download and install them. Regardless, I suspect that your resolution problem is not a driver issue -- but to be sure, you should examine the file /var/log/XFree86.#.log, where # is the number of your display (likely 0 -- that's zero, not the letter 'O'). You may find some clues there, such as 1024x768 not being a supported resolution for your monitor/card, etc.

Hope this helps.

I suspect your monitor is the problem. You have specified a limited horizontal sync range (which may, in fact, be correct for your monitor, but you should check this -- what brand/model of monitor are you using?). X-windows calculates the available modes from information about the capabilities of your video card/chipset and monitor and removes any modes that are unsupported by the combination of your hardware. You may find messages about the modes removed in /var/log/XFree86.0.log. For example, my log contains messages such as:

(II) S3VIRGE(0): Not using default mode "640x350" (vrefresh out of range)
(II) S3VIRGE(0): Not using default mode "320x175" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan)
(II) S3VIRGE(0): Not using default mode "640x400" (vrefresh out of range)
(II) S3VIRGE(0): Not using default mode "320x200" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan)
(II) S3VIRGE(0): Not using default mode "720x400" (vrefresh out of range)

(II) S3VIRGE(0): Not using default mode "320x240" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan)
etc.

You might have a look at your log and see what you find.

Hope this helps.

Is there any problems,
Thanks.

[codejockey]

The messages in your log suggest that your monitor cannot support the 1024x768 resolution (due to limited horizontal sync), and this is why X-windows ignores this specification in your XF86Config file. Can you run the monitor in 1024x768 resolution in Windoze or some other O/S? What brand/model of monitor are you using?

Additional info appreciated.

[CROSSSUN]

yes, the monitor can support 1024*768 resoloution in winXP.

My monitor is a LCD, it is small brand product.
It support 1024*768 @75Hz.
