I just install oS11.4 64 bits under a HP 420 with intel video card … everything seems to be fine except for the screen resolution that show 1024x786 every time i boot the laptop, soh i just go under kde4 “Display and Monitor” and setup for “1366x786”. How can i force my system to use “1366x768” by default … Sax2 doesn’t exists any more and “xorg.conf” it’s not even there …
can i pass the screen resolution during the boot
or edit manualy a “xorg.conf” ?
tks in advance …
Hello,
I had the same problem, for me it worked to create a modeline with
cvt
and insert it into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf
tks …
but i don’t even know how to start doing this , could u place your “50-monitor.conf” so i can see what exactly i have to do ?
Lets do this Step for Step:
First: Creating the modeline with cvt in the console, for exampel:
marcel@tux93:~> cvt 1366 768
# 1368x768 59.88 Hz (CVT) hsync: 47.79 kHz; pclk: 85.25 MHz
Modeline "1368x768_60.00" 85.25 1368 1440 1576 1784 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync
Second: Open 50-monitor.conf as root with Alt+F2 → kdesu kwrite /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf
The file should look like this:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Default Monitor"
## If your monitor doesn't support DDC you may override the
## defaults here
#HorizSync 28-85
#VertRefresh 50-100
## Add your mode lines here, use e.g the cvt tool
EndSection
Third: Copy the output from cvt into the file:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Default Monitor"
## If your monitor doesn't support DDC you may override the
## defaults here
#HorizSync 28-85
#VertRefresh 50-100
## Add your mode lines here, use e.g the cvt tool
Modeline "1368x768_60.00" 85.25 1368 1440 1576 1784 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync
EndSection
Now you can save and try if it works.
unfortunaly that didn’t work…
but tks anyways
i guess i’ll have to edit a xorg.conf all by hand …
if you have any suggestions ,i’m glad to hear
tks
Note that the modeline shown by tux93 is specific to his monitor brand/model.
You should create your own with the command indicated.
I did, but didn’t work… 
Just a guess:
Did you try to Save as Default additionally to Apply when configuring the graphics at the “Display & Monitor” setup?
If not try it out, maybe that will do the trick.
that almost work during the boot the screen goes all crazy altening to 1280x768 and then to may be 800x600 and finally when i log into kde , kde set the screen to 1368x768…
not ideal but works …
tks
this weekend i 'll try to conf my xorg.conf propelly …
