Re: problem with 1280x800 resolution

[Sebastian Hofmann <icke@der-hofi.de>]

I had the same problem with my toshiba - but I have an Intel graphic chip...

Now it works with a special "modline" in X-config:

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"LCD 1280x800"
	HorizSync	28-70
	VertRefresh	43-72
	Option		"DPMS"
	ModeLine "1280x800" 83.46 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 828
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	Device		"Intel Corp. 82852/855GM"
	Monitor		"LCD 1280x800"
	DefaultDepth	24
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
	Depth		24
	Modes		"1280x800" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
