I have this partially working now. In my xorg.conf file, I added HorizSync 31.5-82.5 and VertRefresh 50-90 in the "Monitor" section. In the "Screen" section, I added DefaultDepth 24 and in the "Display" Subsection with Depth 24, I added Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" Now the only resolution that works correctly is 1280x1024. This is much better than the 640x480 that I had before, but I'd like to use 1024x768. When I go into Configure Desktop and set the Display Screen Size to anything other than 1280x1024, my screen gets disoriented. There is a break about three quarters through the screen and part of the windows display on one side and the rest displays on the other side of the break. I can't find the correct VertRefresh and HorizSync settings on Dell's website, so I've been messing with settings that I found that someone else used on an older version of FreeBDS with XFree86. Would this problem be caused by the VertRefresh? Any tips on what I can change? -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Brian Kinsey Sent: Saturday, April 02, 2005 7:00 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: video resolution with kde I just installed FreeBSD 5.3 on my laptop (Dell Latitude D600) and set up KDE 3.3. When I go into the desktop configuration, the only screen size I have is 640x480. What do I need to do to get a higher resolution? I believe the video card is an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000, but I can't seem to find FreeBSD drivers for it. Sorry if I didn't include enough info here, I am very new to this.
