Can't change to 1024 x 768 resolution

[Alexandre Moore]

In your xorg.conf, Section "Monitor"

    HorizSync    30.0 - 54.0
    VertRefresh  50.0 - 120.0

In Section "Screen", SubSection "Display"
    Modes    "1024x768" "800x600"


Manual at Philips website:

Should work fine.

> Hello!

>
> I'm working on a FC2 at 800x600 resolution, with no problems.
>
> However, when I change to 1024 x 768 (and restart X by means of logging out),
> my screen turns black never showing again my login screen (No error
> messages!).
> The only way (afaik) to recover my graphical desktop is to restore xorg.conf
> (cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf) and then reboot.
>
> I installed my system with an unprobed monitor as FC2 doesn't have my monitor
> driver:  Philips 105E.
> Of course, this monitor setting doesn't allow more than 800x600 resolution so
> I tried some other Philips monitors and even "Generic CRT Display Monitor
> 1024x768" always with the named problem.
>
> My graphical card shouldn't(?) be the problem as it is a Nvidia GeForce MX
> 400 (configured as "Nvidia GeForce MX (generic)" by the system) (Should
> support 1024x768 with 256+ colors!)
>
> Other data:
> My Kernel version is 2.6.5-1.358 on an i686 but I experienced the same
> problem with 2.6.7-1.494.2.2
> I use Gnome although KDE is also installed.
>
>
> Shouldn't, at least, Generic CRT Display Monitor 1024x768 work?
> Where can I get a Philips 105E monitor driver? Will this solve my problem?
> Can anyone help?
