How do I change my default resolution in xorg.conf? Seems like it's always choosing the largest one?
Offline
I believe the first resolution stated in the screen section next to the subsection matching your defaultdepth is the default one. So just move the desired one to the first place (for example: "1024x768" "1280x768" "800x600"). You can change them with alt-ctrl-+ later, of course.
Well, it works with me, at least.
Cheers,

Here's the resolution part from my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "MSI GeForce2 MX-400"
Monitor "Iiyama Vision Master Pro 410 "
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1600x1200" "1280x960" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSectionYou might want to edit it to your needs.

No, changing the order of the resolutions in the file didn't help. Or it helped a little... Everything got the right size and resolution, but I had to scroll the desktop to see everything! Hard to explain but it didn't work to say... Any more ideas?

Check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if X.org is using the right module for your VGA.
Recheck your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see if the refresh rates for your monitor are correct.

That file was HUGE! :-) I didn't really know where to look but I found some stuff that might be of intrest. It says the nvidia driver I have is for XFree86??? And I'm using Xorg...
I also found this error?
Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory)
What does this mean?
And yes, the refresh rates of my monitor are correct!

I've got an nVidia card aswell, and this is what it says in my log about the nvidia-module:
(II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o
(II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.6629
Module class: XFree86 Video DriverI don't know if it's the same message you were talking about, but my X.org works at high resolutions (up to 1600*1200) flawlessly.
I also found this error?
Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory)
What does this mean?
It's got something to do with APM (Advanced Power Management), which is (I believe) a technique for laptops. I don't know if it's available on regular (desktop / server) mainboards, so I wouldn't worry about it. Perhaps you've got it enabled in your kernel, but your system doesn't support it.
In fact, looking at my Xorg.0.log more closely I found this:
(WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory)Since it says "(WW)" at the beginning, it means it's just a warning. Don't worry about it.
Could you post your complete /etc/X11/xorg.conf as well as the type of VGA you are using?

I have no idea what I did. But now the resolution is as I want it... It's so weird! I think I messed arround with some settings in kde and now... I can't even select that higher resolution I had before even though it is in my conf file! I just don't know...
Here is my conf file anyway

### Uncomment if you don't want to default to DDC:
HorizSync 27.0 - 96.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0
EndSectionMaybe you should comment the line " DisplaySize 305 230 " and see what happens.
[edit]
You're also missing an ending quote on this line:
