did you try to make changes at
"/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
look at Section "Screen"
........
Modes "640x480"
change it to "800x600"
--- "Pietro R.A. Binetti" <binabin(a)libero.it> a écrit
:
Firstly I apologize for the wrong indication: I am
stuck on 640x480
resolution (not 800x600) and I want to have 800x600
(not 1024x768).
However
the problem doesn't change so much: I am still
stuck.
Some of you suggested me to look at the video memory
in my BIOS
settings.
Now there are 2 problems:
1. accessing my BIOS settings at the startup I can't
see anywhere issues
relating on video memory
2. I checked my system hardware and I discovered
that my video card
shares
the memory with the RAM: it takes 8MB of 128MB. It
does mean something,
doesn't it?
I also checked on the Acer webpage: there are no
updates available for
my
BIOS.
Regards,
Pietro
