I need the Device, Monitor, and Screen sections of an XF86Config-4 file that will cause the LCD on a NEC Ready 220T laptop computer (running linux) to run an Xserver at 1024x768. So far I have only gotten it to run in 800x600, and I have had no luck in finding information on the vertical or horizontal refresh rate ranges. I am a very experienced linux user, so feel free to consider that when writing your response. Also, is there a way to definitively tell the maximum resolution of the screen? I am basing 1024x768 off the one page I could find with any kind of specs on it. Obviously, this will not lead to fruition if the display can only do 800x600. I will consider the question satisfactorily answered if a definitive method of determining the maximum resolution of an LCD is found. |

Here's an old newsgroup posting with some specs: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/misc.forsale.computers.pc-specific.portables/browse_thread/thread/1eb48eca67f8408e/819b907e524e316a Based on this, it looks like the built in display only does 800x600. |

ahh... I see what is going on; the card/chipset can support 1024x768, but the screen is only 800x600. Yeah, the page I was looking at was in russian, and my russian is very poor, nor did they mention 800x600 anywhere, perhaps intentionally. Anyway, thanks. That was a good page, even though it unfortunately does not contain the horizontal or vertical refresh ranges. |
