Screen Resolution with hwd [solved]

I am having trouble getting the right screen resolution for xorg with hwd...

I used...

pacman -Sy xorg hwd
hwd -xa

My monitor and video card are optimally at 1280x1024 but when I use hwd, the maximum screen resolution seems to be set at 1024x768. Any ideas on how to get 1280x1024 without xorgconf?

Re: Screen Resolution with hwd [solved]

In the Display SUBSECTION(s) for the Screen SECTION in xorg.conf you must put something like this :
        Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

The first mode listed is the mode that is used by default.
