]]>Hi briancurtin,
try to disbale the horizontal e vertical sync in this way (in the xorg.conf):# HorizSync 28-72 # VertRefresh 43-60
Then exit X and start again.
I have done the same thing on my desktop with an 17" LCD on 1280x1024 res attached, and it works fine.

]]>i just installed arch about an hour ago and have been tinkering with some things, mainly my resolution. i have a widescreen laptop which should be at 1440x900, and i have this set in my xorg.conf file. i came from ubuntu and had a succesful run with 1440x900 there, and took some parts from my old xorg file there to get this going. the resolution i am getting right now is 1152x768 according to the little gui tool in Desktop > Preferences > Screen Resolution.
i searched around a little but couldnt find anything concrete. i apologize if this has been covered recently, feel free to refer me to a solution if i missed one in my searches.
if it helps, here is my xorg.conf: http://briancurtin.com/xorg.conf.txt (couldnt get it to show up any other way)
thanks to anyone who can help
