Re: [SLE] X and XF86Config not using correct resolution

** Reply to message from SRGlasoe on Wed, 02 Jun 2004 14:30:08 -0500

What am I missing? Any other troubleshooting steps? Why would X not read my XF86Config file and use its settings on a consistent basis? My hardware does support up to 1600x1200 at 16bit and either 60Hz or 65Hz.

Thanks, Stan

I had a lot of X problems until I discovered xf86cfg. It configures X and gives the option to save as /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Mouse started working, resolution i chose finally stuck, etc. Try copying /etc/X11/XF86Config to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Log out. Restart X Server in KDM, or at a separate console (Ctl-Alt-F3), login as root and do an init 3 and an init 5. After the X Server is restarted, login in via gdm or kdm and see it the problems go away.
