I've installed CentOS 6.3 on a new system. I've a nagging problem that I'm trying to fix---the screen resolution changes. I've a flat screen monitor that has 1600x900 capability. However when I logout and then log back in the resolution changes to 1280x1024. When I looked at the xorg.conf.d directory it was empty---both in /etc and in /usr/share. Where is xorg.conf and it's monitor section now? BTW, I'm use KDE. mw -- -- "Lose not thy airspeed, lest the ground rises up and smites thee." -- William Kershner http://crucis-court.com http://www.crucis.net/1632search

I ran into a widescreen situation a whle back where one cable didn't work, but the cable that came with the monitor did. The EDID value comes from the monitor itself, and the cable must be able to support that in order for the automatic resolution code to properly figure out the resolution. In the case I mention, even manually setting the resolution in xorg.conf didn't work, since the EDID was mangled by the cable.
