HP dv1000 screen resolution [solved.]

Hello all, I'm fairly new to Arch Linux.. but I'm not a total noob. I've had quite a journey figuring out the Bash commands I need to know and just getting X to work, and now I'm using FVWM2.

I have a HP Pavillion dv1000 which uses a screen resolution of 1280x1024, but every time I start up X I have 1024x768. I tried to fix the screen resolution in Gnome and KDE, just to see if it had anything to do with FVWM itself or something.

I've gotten the package xf86-video-i810 and set that up in Xorg but I'm still starting X With 1024 x 768. I have no idea what's going on. Here's a copy of my Xorg.conf:

Re: HP dv1000 screen resolution [solved.]

If the i810 driver has a command for configure, I don't know it. The dv1000 wiki page didn't say anything about it. I tried the command "xrandr" and I only got the options 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480.

As you can see I have "1280x1024" in front of all of my modes for each depth, and I still don't get that choice. I'm guessing it's Xorg.conf but I've tried like three different Mode lines for the "Monitor" section, and the one that I tried last was auto-generated at a website. Besides that line, I can't see anything else to worry about.

Xorg.0.log contained nothing useful last time I checked, I may check that again.

Ideas anyone?  :?

Re: HP dv1000 screen resolution [solved.]

..thanks for the help.
I got it to work.
Since the default depth is 16, under the Subsection with depth 16 I deleted all resolutions but "1280x1024" and now it works.
