I am running kde 3.2.
Right now I am trying to get it recognize my monitor can handle resolutions
above 1024x768. I have eliminated all the other options in my xorg.conf file
Here it is btw:


# ************************************************** ********************
# Screen sections
# ************************************************** ********************

# Any number of screen sections may be present. Each describes
# the configuration of a single screen. A single specific screen section
# may be specified from the X server command line with the "-screen"
# option.
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "videocard0"
Monitor "My Monitor"

# If your card can handle it, a higher default color depth (like 24 or 32)
# is highly recommended.

# DefaultDepth 8
# DefaultDepth 16
DefaultDepth 24
# DefaultDepth 32

# "1024x768" is also a conservative usable default resolution. If you
# have a better monitor, feel free to try resolutions such as
# "1152x864", "1280x1024", "1600x1200", and "1800x1400" (or whatever your
# card/monitor can produce)

Subsection "Display"

Subsection "Display"

Subsection "Display"

Subsection "Display"

EndSubsection

EndSection

32 bit depth also isn't working?
Why is it still defaulting to 1024x768 you think?

Here is the video card section:

Here is the monitor section:

HorizSync 31.5 - 50.0

VertRefresh 40-90

To fully take advantage of your monitor you should set the HorizSync and
VertRefresh ranges to the exact ranges that are specified in your manual.
You might get the resolution that you want also with a lower value, but
then you will get a lower refresh rate which could result in flickering.
