Hello people,
I am trying to create a custom screen resolution - need it for a 3d game which doesnt show good performance with 1280x800. I have widescreen and standard lower-res modes are not good.
960x600 seems to be the one I need, however I can’t even make it possible to try: even though I created a modeline for it (using this link The XFree86 Modeline Generator) and added into xorg.conf, I don’t have the mode selectable in sax2.
There is my xorg.conf:

I even tried completely removing all “1280x800” and setting PreferredMode to be 960x600 as well but it would start 1280x800 still. So I’m completely lost at this point.
Any suggestions?
