Hi all,

I have a problem with my X configuration on my FC4 install. It will only
display in 640x480 and 800x600 using the gnome Screen Resolution. When
looking at my xorg.conf file, I noticed the following:

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, I changed it to:

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

~~~~~~~~~~~~

But, after restarting X, the screen resolution app didn't offer 1024x768
as a choice.

What am I missing?

Thanks

You should check your xorg log file.
I think it should be ... /var/log/Xorg.0.log

See what modes it can run and what messages appear for modeline 1024x768
