X sets resolution too high! NEED HELP! [solved]
when X starts I get a whoopin' 2048x1536 screen resolution. My 19" DELL P991 monitor (Horiz 30 - 107, Vert 48 -120) should not be able to go over 1600x1200, and thats the resolution I want.
check this link for monitor details: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/m … n/spec.htm
here is my xorg.conf file.

Re: X sets resolution too high! NEED HELP! [solved]
Don't know if it helps but, in your section:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSectionThe Screen line is weird, I only have:
Screen "Screen0"And in the InputDevice lines, I only have the first argument.

Re: X sets resolution too high! NEED HELP! [solved]
Can you try commenting out the HorizSync and VertRefresh lines?
