hi.
i got old acer veriton 3600g with intel 82865g graphics and should be able to display at least 1024x768.

i'm linux newbie and this is my first hands on centos and it's centos 5.1.
why is it i can only use 800x600 resolution?

i tried install other distro and also few livecd and most distro can give me 1024x768
anyway i can get more screen on centos5.1?

tia.

You should look into the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file the check the
available resolutions and the default. Changing this values should
work, If not, check the video driver in the same file.
man xorg.conf

xorg.conf dont have anything indicating the resolution.

i see this:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto#head-0e3051713171cb5d1bf49dc2dc7bea24eb9ed83e

install 915resolution, change the driver from i810 to intel as said on
the instruction.
and X stop working.

i do X -configure and copy the new xorg.conf and get back to same old
resolution.
still cant get higher resolution.

any idea??

I notice that this some times happens if the monitor is in auto
configure mode ... try this, on the menu select the following:

System => Administration => Display

THEN

Click the "hardware" tab and pick your monitor manually.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

Then run "system-config-display" from a shell.

Now, there's your problem :-)

OK, I am just kidding. Do what ralph said and run system-config-display
from the command line.

that's not installed with kde.
so i installed it with yumex.
run it. set my monitor and my resolution both as 1024x768.
startx. and i got blank screen.

replace xorg.conf with the backup to get back to my old low resolution.

anything else i can try out?

Within X, if the resolution doesn't produce a picture, try CNTL-[minus
sign] and/or CNTL-[plus sign] to switch among resolutions and refresh
rates.


If all else fails, try CNTL-ALT-Backspace to break out of X. Sometimes
that will help, other times you need to visit CNTL-ALT-F1 for a tty
session for additional troubleshooting.


Hope that helps.

Scott
