Hey, i'm trying to get my screen resolution as big as possible, and i'm not sure how to do this, i've read through some wikis and stuff but nothing is really making a difference.
Here is my lspci, and a snippet of xorg.conf, im using fluxbox

And another few questions while im at it, but dont really need answering im not too worried about
- Is there a snippet of code of a file anywhere that i can make my bash prompts colourful like i see in some screenies
- right now im using eterm, but is there a lighter weight one that you can change settings for, like i would use xterm but i dont know how to change the settings like transparent background, so is there a lighter one that most people use that can be configured through a text file?
Thanks so much in advance for any help

you may need to add DefaultDepth to screen, i.e
...
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
...
chances are that it's defaulting ti 16Bit mode.

1) Use the proper video driver (i810 probably) in your xorg.conf, vesa is just a fallback. 'pacman -Ss xf86-video-' for a full list of installable drivers.
2) http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Color_Bash_Prompt
3) I know some more programs, see if you like one: xterm, aterm, eterm, mrxvt, rxvt-unicode, mlterm, gtkterm, tilda, terminal.

I had the exact same problem until about a month ago (a 21-inch CRT monitor REALLY flickers at 75 Hz). When I originally installed my system, I did "all 4" Xorg configs (X -configure; Xorg -config; hwd; nvidia-xconfig - I have an NVidia video card), and picked-and-chose from each to build an optimal xorg.conf.
After a couple of weeks trying everything else I could, I went back to the original 4 config files. One of the two Xorg configurators (X -configure or Xorg -config; I don't remember which) has "ModeLine" lines in it. I inserted the "ModeLine" lines I knew to be acceptable to my monitor. That's all it took. No configuring - I simply inserted the ModeLines and restarted X, and I've been happily zipping along at my usual 100 MHz ever since.
