Re: screen resolution question

I stupidly deleted a response to my question regarding my "skeletal"

have a "Screen" section. It does, but it is as empty as the other
sections.
Since it doesn't amount to much, the whole thing follows.

Not much is needed now days.
This is from the post that Mirko Parthey posted:
http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 a good read.
you can add an "Option" along these lines under Monitor:
Option "PreferredMode" "1024x768_60.00" (assuming 60hz refresh rate, if
it is something else, change _60.00 to something else)
Old way: Under Screen
Option
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "somexother" "somexother" (note: the
first one would be the preferred resolution, the 2nd and following could
actually be higher if you wanted it)
I still use the old method: I use nvidia and twinview and I don't know
any other way to get 2880x900 out of two monitors that run 1440x900.
take the time to read that page, it should clear up the issue for you.
