I was confused on this point when I tried that before... I know nothing about Meego other than that you are using it. :-p > X seems to be started from 3 files in /etc/X11/xinitrc (xinitrc, > xinitrc-common, and Xclients) It worked for me in openSUSE 11.3 adding everything in xinitrc near the end, right before the actual window manager startup commands. An alternative that worked for me was using ~/.xinitrc and leaving /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc untouched. > I opted to add the lines to xinitrc thus: ... > xrandr --newmode "840x480_60.00" 31.25 840 864 944 1048 480 483 493 500 -hsync +vsync ... > Where I have it placed now doesn't work (after removing my edited xorg.conf, I get > the original resolution back). So I must not understand where it should be placed. > Could you enlighten me, *pretty please* :} I did more experimenting. It worked for me with no xorg.conf, modifying nothing in /etc/X11/xinit, and putting what used to work in the monitor section of xorg.conf into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf. http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/50-monitor.conf.02-113-t2240-1600x1200x120-60_i845G worked for me to get 1600x1200 instead of the 1024x768 default, but you may need to add the above xrandr data as a Modeline in order to get your 800x480. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
