If you need to support a resolution or refresh rate that is not
listed, please contact Tech Source (see Chapter 7).

5.7.1 Setting Resolution


To select a specific resolution modify the

"Modes"

option in the

Screen

section of the

config

file. Only the subsection where

the depth is the same as the

DefaultDepth

needs to be

modified. The example below shows how to set the resolution to
1600x1200 in 8-bit mode. In this case the X server will
automatically select the highest possible refresh rate for the
monitor.

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Raptor1100T"
Device "Raptor1.1KT"
Monitor "CustomMonitor"
DefaultDepth 8
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1600x1200"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
EndSection


If the desired resolution does not match a resolution in X server’s
internal list, it will be necessary to set both resolution and refresh
rate as explained in Section 5.7.2.
