Hi happy arch users!
Im using a computer with a Q35 express intel integreated videocard.
I have installed xf86-intel-video drivers.
However X -configure wont give me a properly working xorg, after reboot I get 1280x1024, but my screen resolution is 1440x900.
glxgears is working with ~500 fps
I've tried xrandr to add a 1440x900 newmode, but it failed with status:
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
This is my current xorg, as you can see i've tried adding 1440x900 as resolution:

Thanks in advance!

Hum normally there is no more need of xorg.conf... You can try installing "intel-dri", it solve all my problems.

Maybe changing the driver to intel in the Device section will help or enabling kms with no xorg.conf http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Int … Setting.29

Hi,
Quick gloss-over the paste, showed this, in the monitor section, add the horizontal and vertical info/refresh rates. Google the make/model or better yet, this site is a good starter http://monitorworld.com/ -
Here's an example of where you'd need to get:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
HorizSync 30-107
VertRefresh 48-120
EndSection
Find & fill-in what is relevant to your monitor, of course.
Next int the "Screen" section, state the default depth
DefaultDepth 24
You should be set.
Do make a back up of the xorg.conf you got now ... but, I'm rambling, you know this...
And, yes, most of the time /etc/X11/xorg.conf is not needed, xorg is really clever enough to "figure it out"....but sometimes not...

edit:
Oh and yes : the driver... set this to Intel...tnx Halcyon22, you're 100% right...
Dont know just what to fill in? Let X figure this out for you:
Xorg -configure
This will put a new file "xorg.conf.new" in your root folder (you are doing this as root, aint ya?) - read it, and paste in your conf what you find there as driver...
