Linux screen resolution issue

Post by R3Z3T »

Hello,

My problem is:
I try to play AQ2 on SuSe 10.0 with 1024x768, but when I try to put that resolution (Fullscreen, window it works perfectly) the monitor juse stays black. Even on 800x600 or 640x480. The only resolution that works is 1280x1024. How can I fix this? Even on KDE or Enemy Territory or wtv I can only play with 1280x1024.

Thanks in advance*

Be sure to have HorizSync and VertRefresh specified in your X config according to the capabilities of your Monitor:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Code: Select all

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "YourTFT"
    [..]
    HorizSync 31-81
    VertRefresh 60-76
    [..]
EndSection
Or put vertical refresh rates seperated by comma:
Like: around 77, around 85, around 100, around 120 are allowed.

Code: Select all

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "YourCRT"
    [..]
    HorizSync   35-86
    VertRefresh 76.5-77.5, 84.5-85.5, 99.5-100.5, 119.5-120.5
    [..]
EndSection
X will then calculate possible Modes out of the given parameters (as long as you don't specifiy ModeLines).
