OK, I did the deal and I am in the process of upgrading/migrating from
CentOS 5.8 x86_64 to CentOS 6.2 x86_64. But, I'm stuck with a gnome GUI
that only sees 1024x768. Under CentOS 5.8 it saw 1920x1080 (without much
work from me). The command I was used to , system-config-display, is gone
and I've read that xrandr is the replacement. I can't find a usage
document on this command. The basic description of the hardware involved
is:
nVidia GT 7300 video card
Viewsonic 24" monitor
I don't have the exact specs for this hardware, but I can post it later if
needed.
I've run the following command:
xrandr -q
And sometimes it returns a list of modes that range from 5 entries to 15
entries.
Any help will be appreciated!
TIA,
Gene Poole
