Great work! However, I'm not sure how to set up a different resolution properly. With the closed nvidia driver, I usually just click on krandrtray in KDE and pick a different resolution. With nouveau driver, though, it works as well, but only partially. I can see the resolution is theoretically changed (fonts, windows are bigger when I change from 1280x1024 to 1024x768), but technically, in my LCD monitor info I can see the resolution is still 1280x1024. Why? Because of this issue, I can't use my beamer (dual-head), which only supports resolutions up to 1024x768. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org
