I'm running an install of CentOS 5.5 virtually and for some reason I only have 2 available screen resolutions - 800x600 and 640x480. Does anybody know how I can add some bigger resolutions?
I've had a look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and it is knows that the graphics card is virtual, but even listing the resolutions that I want fails.
Here is the default screen section -
Secton "Screen"
Identifiew "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
And here is what I tried adding to SubSection "Display"
-
Mode "1024x768" "1280x1024"
