PL_ Veteran Posted July 1, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 1, 2008 I'm used to going to /etc/X11/xorg.conf to change around available resolutions, but where xorg.conf has three, the Screen Resolution box has many more. So where are they coming from? Hardy Heron here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted July 1, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 1, 2008 X gets its available resolutions from the config file, just like you normally use. These are used when you CTRL+ALT+[num pad plus/minus] through your resolutions. However, X can also probe and see what possible resolutions are supported, which you can probably do by opening a terminal and typing xrandr (for X resolutions and rotations) to list resolutions, frequencies and rotations your hardware supports.
