Hi,
Has anyone gotten a resolution of 1680 x 1050 out of an intel 965G chipset? I'm looking for that, out of the box, my opensuse 10.2 only offers 1280 x 1024 which looks somehow wrong...I would appreciate if some one could help me in a way getting my x-server to display 1680 x 1050 pixel on my screen.
Thank you! Ron -- chEErs Ron

Hi Ron, I don't know if this will work for you or not, but it was a neat solution to problems like this. I'm not sure if xorg fully supports that chipset and if not, I think Intel has a driver for Linux on their site.
Try this first though. In your xorg.conf file go to:
DefaultDepth 24
Subsection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 32 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubsection EndSection
Now just add your 1680x1050 resolution in front of each that begins with "1280x1024". Restart your X and see what you have. Don't forget to make a backup of your xorg.conf file too. The above is from mine, so yours may look a bit different.

This didn't work, it would not start the x server anymore. i can't recall all the error messages but it said something bout an incompatibility
You also need to supply a line in the Section "Modes" area as well.
I didn't add anything in section Modes tho. Not sure how I would add it, now it says: Section "Modes" Identifier "Modes[0]" Modeline "1280x1024" 141.82 1280 1376 1512 1744 1024 1025 1028 1070 Modeline "1280x1024" 130.17 1280 1368 1504 1728 1024 1025 1028 1066 Modeline "1280x1024" 120.01 1280 1368 1504 1728 1024 1025 1028 1063 Modeline "1280x1024" 114.50 1280 1328 1360 1440 1024 1027 1034 1061 +HSync -Vsync Modeline "1280x1024" 108.88 1280 1360 1496 1712 1024 1025 1028 1060 Modeline "1280x960" 131.72 1280 1368 1504 1728 960 961 964 1003 Modeline "1280x960" 122.11 1280 1368 1504 1728 960 961 964 1000 Modeline "1280x960" 111.52 1280 1360 1496 1712 960 961 964 997 Modeline "1280x960" 107.25 1280 1328 1360 1440 960 963 967 995 +HSync -Vsync Modeline "1280x960" 102.10 1280 1360 1496 1712 960 961 964 994 Modeline "1280x800" 108.77 1280 1360 1496 1712 800 801 804 836 Modeline "1280x800" 100.78 1280 1360 1496 1712 800 801 804 833 Modeline "1280x800" 92.08 1280 1352 1488 1696 800 801 804 831 Modeline "1280x800" 89.50 1280 1328 1360 1440 800 803 809 829 +HSync -Vsync Modeline "1280x800" 83.46 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 828 Modeline "1152x864" 106.51 1152 1224 1352 1552 864 865 868 903 Modeline "1152x864" 97.69 1152 1224 1344 1536 864 865 868 900 Modeline "1152x864" 90.02 1152 1224 1344 1536 864 865 868 897 Modeline "1152x864" 88.00 1152 1200 1232 1312 864 867 871 895 +HSync -Vsync Modeline "1152x864" 81.62 1152 1216 1336 1520 864 865 868 895 Modeline "1280x768" 104.48 1280 1360 1496 1712 768 769 772 803 Modeline "1280x768" 95.88 1280 1352 1488 1696 768 769 772 800 Modeline "1280x768" 88.42 1280 1352 1488 1696 768 769 772 798 Modeline "1280x768" 85.75 1280 1328 1360 1440 768 771 778 796 +HSync -Vsync Modeline "1280x768" 80.14 1280 1344 1480 1680 768 769 772 795 Modeline "1024x768" 83.00 1024 1080 1192 1360 768 769 772 803 Modeline "1024x768" 76.89 1024 1080 1192 1360 768 769 772 800 Modeline "1024x768" 70.50 1024 1072 1104 1184 768 771 775 796 +HSync -Vsync Modeline "1024x768" 70.07 1024 1080 1184 1344 768 769 772 798 Modeline "1024x768" 64.11 1024 1080 1184 1344 768 769 772 795 Modeline "1280x600" 80.06 1280 1344 1480 1680 600 601 604 627 Modeline "1280x600" 73.49 1280 1336 1472 1664 600 601 604 625 Modeline "1280x600" 67.08 1280 1336 1464 1648 600 601 604 623 Modeline "1280x600" 67.00 1280 1328 1360 1440 600 603 613 622 +HSync -Vsync Modeline "1280x600" 61.50 1280 1336 1464 1648 600 601 604 622 Modeline "1024x600" 64.04 1024 1080 1184 1344 600 601 604 627 Modeline "1024x600" 58.65 1024 1072 1176 1328 600 601 604 625 Modeline "1024x600" 55.00 1024 1072 1104 1184 600 603 613 622 +HSync -Vsync Modeline "1024x600" 54.05 1024 1072 1176 1328 600 601 604 623 Modeline "1024x600" 48.96 1024 1064 1168 1312 600 601 604 622 Modeline "800x600" 50.32 800 840 928 1056 600 601 604 627 Modeline "800x600" 45.93 800 840 920 1040 600 601 604 625 Modeline "800x600" 44.75 800 848 880 960 600 603 607 622 +HSync -Vsync Modeline "800x600" 42.33 800 840 920 1040 600 601 604 623 Modeline "800x600" 38.22 800 832 912 1024 600 601 604 622 Modeline "768x576" 46.12 768 808 888 1008 576 577 580 602 Modeline "768x576" 42.06 768 800 880 992 576 577 580 600 Modeline "768x576" 41.50 768 816 848 928 576 579 583 597 +HSync -Vsync Modeline "768x576" 38.82 768 800 880 992 576 577 580 599 Modeline "768x576" 34.96 768 792 872 976 576 577 580 597 Modeline "640x480" 31.13 640 664 728 816 480 481 484 502 Modeline "640x480" 29.75 640 688 720 800 480 483 487 498 +HSync -Vsync Modeline "640x480" 28.83 640 664 728 816 480 481 484 500 Modeline "640x480" 26.60 640 664 728 816 480 481 484 499 Modeline "640x480" 23.86 640 656 720 800 480 481 484 497 EndSection Don't know how to add a line for 1680x1050. It looks like sync rates to me.... i guess i need to find a manual for my screen acer AL2216W. Right? For what should i look in there?
