You may need a "Mode" line, for example from mine (for my EeePC): Section "DRI" Mode 0666 Endsection Figure out the exact resolution you need, and make a modeline for it (there is a formula available to use pixWidth/pixHeight/DPI to generate a modeline), and put it in your xorg.conf as specified above. You may have to create the "DRI" section. -- http://pobega.wordpress.com http://identica/pobega
