[SOLVED] Can't change resolution on S10

Hello!

I've been using Arch linux on my Lenovo S10 netbook for a week now and it works very well.  smile  I must say I am throughly impressed with pacman.

I've been having 2 issues, namely I can't change my resolution from 1024x600 (max on S10) and opengl applications give me black boxes but I can live with the opengl problem until later.

I've been browsing the various Eee/MSI wind wikis since they're identical in specs for the most part (apparently the S10 is the red-headed stepchild of the netbook family) but nothing I try works.

I'm thinking there's something overriding my xorg.conf... if that's possible.

xrandr

[xxxxx@xxxxx ~]$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 600, maximum 1024 x 1024
VGA disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
LVDS connected 1024x600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 222mm x 130mm
   1024x600       56.1*+

Below is my xorg.conf... as you can see i've been hacking it up quite a bit, but no luck as of yet.
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Any help from the local gurus would be greatly appreciated!

If this persists I'm going to install Ubuntu or Windows 7 on it sad

Re: [SOLVED] Can't change resolution on S10

Would it help if I were to post my log?

It's really baffling to me. It seems like it's completely ignoring that section of my conf file but I have no idea to be honest.

Re: [SOLVED] Can't change resolution on S10

Dang, no luck. sad


I copy pasted that into my xorg.conf and I'm getting the same settings.

This is very, very aggravating that even without those settings it's still stuck at 1024x600...

Re: [SOLVED] Can't change resolution on S10

Ok I got it to work (apparently) smile

I did some more searching and found a thread on the MSI wind with a similar problem.

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=495328

I altered my xorg.conf to match the solution and tada! it worked like a charm.


I'm not entirely sure which option it was that did it, but I have 1024x600 through 630x350.

::Solved::  Thank you for your responses.
