915resolution not working

I installed 915resolution and ran 915resolution -l and picked one, which was 5c. so i ran 915resolution 5c 1280 800, i restarted X and all was fine. so i precedded to add it to /etc/rc.local.

/usr/sbin/915reolution 5c 1280 800 32

i restarted and its been reset to 1280x768. i just can't get it to work. any ideas

I can't help you with the problem about 915resolution, but it seems you are not the only one with that problem. Maybe this helps you: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=34531

Re: 915resolution not working

i thought i may have read somewhere that it doesn't work for 32 bit depth and only 24???? (maybe im thinking of radeon drivers or something)

Anyway this is what i did to get mine working:

in rc.local

/usr/sbin/915resolution 4d 1280 800

in xorg.conf

Section "Screen"
...
       DefaultDepth 24    
    SubSection "Display"
        Depth     16
        Modes "1280x800"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Depth     24
        Modes "1280x800"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Depth     32
        Modes "1280x800"
    EndSubSection

Note: If you are specifying a depth of 32, make sure your DefaultDepth is 32

Re: 915resolution not working

You probably haven't made the silly mistake I did, but just in case:

If you ran hwd during setup, don't forget to change the graphics driver in xorg.conf from the default vesa to i810

I had ran 915res and wasn't getting anywhere. Cue re-reading of instructions, noticing I'd skipped something rather major and an embarrassed silence:)
