The screen setup in xorg.conf gave me listings of 4 display types, 8, 16, 24, 32 (colour depths) and and said &quot;1024x768&quot;, &quot;800x600&quot;, and &quot;640x480&quot; next to each of them. I am apparently using depth 24, so I thought I'd edit out the 640x480, but that fixed nothing. There is no other mention of screen resolution in xorg.conf.

Lowered it to depth 16, and that let me go 1024x768. Guess I had to sacrifice colour for resolution, but I can live with that.

I have installed Slackware 10.0 on a Pentium II 350 box with an 8mb S3 Trio3D graphics card, with a 15&quot; IBM Aptiva monitor. However, I cannot change the resolution past 640x480, which makes a lot of things in KDE or Gnome difficult to do. (Like clicking APPLY because it is off the screen) I am quite new to Linux in general, but I have tried using xrandr and it tells me my only available resolution is still 640x480@85hz. I'd like to get 1024x768, or at the very least 800x600, and I know there must be away, because I've certainly attained these resolutions through Windows on this monitor and graphics card. Additionally, I can't run Xconfigurator. The command is not found. Any ideas?

Resolution locked at 640x480
