How to set display resolution manually?
Hi debianer!
I installed debian-wheezy on my lenovo x121e laptop, and since it comes with a only 11.6 inch display, I plugged in a monitor through VGA port.
Fortunately without any configuration I could got the same content display on both my laptop and the monitor I plugged. However the resolution are both 1366x768, which is not enough for my full HD monitor.
So I don't want fancy dual-display, I just want to fix the resolution on my monitor to become 1920x1080. How can I do it?
(I read several articles said about xorg.conf, and I re-write piece of my xorg.conf:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 1
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 4
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 8
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 15
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1920x1080"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Then I restart x by "startx", what I got is a zoomed region which I guess is 1366x768 inside the monitor, and the left region is black.)
Please help!
