How can I force xorg to use 1440x900?
Right now it's using 1400x1050 which is not right for this 19"
wide-screen, (supposed to be 1440x900).
(Using KDE3.5 & xorg-server-1.4.2).
(Probable reason for xorg selecting wrong screen-size is my KVM switch
so, basically [at this point] just looking for a work-around.)
(But actually, when I plug directly into the monitor, this one still
does not seem get it right every time, so also could be a limitation
on the part of the (on-board video card.)
(This xorg.conf file created by X -configure while plugged directly
to monitor).
Here is the pertinent part of xorg.conf
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
VendorName "Intel Corporation"
BoardName "82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
