Having trouble getting Widescreen resolutions to work

thegoldenstrand · Mar 30, 2007, 07:23 AM

Hi,

I can't seem to get 1920X1080 working right on my Puppy LInux .

Any ideas on what I need to do??

Thanks,

Mike

Manually edit the XORG.CONF perhaps?

I'm not very good at editing it myself, but I think that is where the key info is.

Puppy is designed to let you select the resolution as you boot up.

I can select 1920X1080 with 16 or 24 bit color

When I select for nVidia gpu.. I get 1920X1080, but for any Ati 1800 or 1900 series I have tried... 1400X1050 results.

So even though I think I have settings ok.. something is not working.
