[SOLVED]Cannot get 1680x1050
Hey all
New to arch, managed to get it all installed with Gnome. Problem I have is the screen display, with the standard arch setup with this xorg.conf:

The card is an older ati x800 which uses the old ATI 9-3 driver, which can't be used in the newer xorg's, but like with antiX the open source driver is fine. glxgears runs fine. But I just cannot get my screen to displa its native res. Any help would be great.
Thanks

Re: [SOLVED]Cannot get 1680x1050
Have you tried having HAL or udev (for X versions 1.7 and 1.8, respectively) auto-detect your hardware? Try running X without an xorg.conf and see how that goes.
It might be that this is a driver issue, however. What graphics card do you have?

Re: [SOLVED]Cannot get 1680x1050
What does 'xrandr' show? Do you have all your drivers and -utils and xorg- stuff installed? Maybe you have them on your other distro, but you didn't install it on Arch and that's why you can't get the native resolution.
Edit:
@browndwarf
> What graphics card do you have?
Well, OP wrote that (s)he has an older ati x800.

Re: [SOLVED]Cannot get 1680x1050
Hi
Thanks for the replies. I have Hal running. All set as a DAEMON as per the guide. I installed xf86-video-ati libgl at-dri all from the guide as well. Xorg is all installed. I am running in gnome very well its just the display. Even glxgears works so I have 3d effects.

I load up gnome-display-properties, select the new 1680x1050 with 60hz screen display. The screen then goes into 1680x1050 but the screen is shaking like mad. My monitor has a setting to show me the hz when running, so I load back into antiX which is correct and the screen displays 65khz 59hz. Now when I change arch to 1680x1050 via xrandr and the screen shakes the monitor says 63khz 58hz. I dont know if this is the reason for the screen shake.

Re: [SOLVED]Cannot get 1680x1050
Did you try running w/o xorg.conf? Move the config file somewhere and reboot.
Just to be sure, please post the output of 'pacman -Qs ati' and 'pacman -Qs xorg'.
Edit: Maybe you should post to this thread -> http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=742749 because I have only rudimentary knowledge of xorg ("works for me") and I don't want to send you on a wild goose chase - trying out everything from the wiki.

Re: [SOLVED]Cannot get 1680x1050
Do you have an up-to-date system? 'pacman -Syyu'
Maybe you should post to this thread -> http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=742749 because I have only rudimentary knowledge of xorg ("works for me") and I don't want to send you on a wild goose chase - trying out everything from the wiki.
There are so many things: is it GNOME or ATI problem, do you have KMS enabled etc. I think it will be much faster if you talk to someone who knows something about ATI.

Anyone else have any ideas please? This stupid display problem is the only thing stopping me moving to arch now.

Re: [SOLVED]Cannot get 1680x1050
I have got a little further if I add this to xorg.conf to disable hal:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSectionI get to GDM login with 1680x1050 yay, but then I have no mouse or keyboard. Any help would be great.
Thanks
EDIT: well i put a # in front of those lines in xorg so I could boot back in and look at keyboard/mouse and it booted stright into GDM then the desktop in full 1680x1050, why would disabling hal then booting, then rebooting with it on fix this weird issue? Anyway I have just done a complete back up with screen res fully working.

Try this
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "no"
EndSectionEdit:

Thats good to hear, because I haven't got a clue why your res wouldn't work and chasing obscure bugs is not what I like doing :-)

Re: [SOLVED]Cannot get 1680x1050
In my experience, specifying DefaultDepth under Section "Screen" often solves these resolution issues.
