[Solved] Xorg resolution problem with Eee PC 900

I have Xorg up and running, but the resolution is at 800x600. It should be 1024x600. I've edited my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

    # 1024x600 @ 75Hz (GTF) hsync: 47.02 kHz; pclk: 63.20 MHz
    ModeLine "1024x600_75.00"  63.20  1024  1080  1184  1344  600  601  604  627  -HSync  +Vsync

and

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device     "Card0"
    Monitor    "Monitor0"
    DefaultColorDepth 16
    SubSection "Display"
        Depth     16
        Modes "1024x600"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

But when I run xrandr, I get:

Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 800 x 600, maximum 800 x 600
default connected 800x600+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   800x600        73.0* 
   640x480        73.0

Any ideas?

Hmmm... No problems here. This section of the EEE Wiki page worked perfectly for me, but I skipped the 701-specific modelines. It was not necessary to use any modelines, since I had full 1024x600 resolution at once.

Are you using the intel driver?

Like der_joachim, my 900 worked straight away, did not even need an xorg.conf.

Maybe try removing the modelines and mode from your xorg.conf altogether and see what it does.

Awesome. Thanks, guys. I reinstalled and got the intel driver working (which I was unable to do last time, for some reason). Looking great now ;]
