Hello friends,

I have a problem and I need your help.

I own a Toshiba Notebook Satellite M45-S265 and I am running CentOS 4.4(final) on it. The problem is that in Setting System --> Display I have option to configure the Resolution up to 1920 x 1440 and a Color Depth = Millions of Colors, but when I log into KDE Desktop and try to adjust the settings of it, it only gives me options of Screen size = 1024 x 768. My laptop is Widescreen and I need to have a better resolution. Can you help me on how to adjust it ?

This are the specifications for the display of my laptop(according to the manufacturer):

Display:
- 15.4" diagonal widescree TruBrite TFT active-matrix LCD display at 1280 x 800 native resolution(WXGA).
- Contrast 400:1
- Brightness Control - FN + F6/F7

Graphics:
- Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900, 10-128MB Internal (UMA) shared video memory.

Thank you very much.

the kde screen config tool just uses /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see what your system supports. it seems very likely the system tools don't work properly. you can adjust it by hand, it'll work. look for a list of resolutions, and just add your resolution...

example: Modes "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
