hi. i got old acer veriton 3600g with intel 82865g graphics and should be able to display at least 1024x768.
i'm linux newbie and this is my first hands on centos and it's centos 5.1. why is it i can only use 800x600 resolution? i tried install other distro and also few livecd and most distro can give me 1024x768 anyway i can get more screen on centos5.1?
tia.
You should look into the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file the check the available resolutions and the default. Changing this values should work, If not, check the video driver in the same file. man xorg.conf

xorg.conf dont have anything indicating the resolution.
i see this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto#head-0e3051713171c...
install 915resolution, change the driver from i810 to intel as said on the instruction. and X stop working.
i do X -configure and copy the new xorg.conf and get back to same old resolution. still cant get higher resolution.
any idea??

I notice that this some times happens if the monitor is in auto configure mode ... try this, on the menu select the following:
System => Administration => Display
THEN
Click the "hardware" tab and pick your monitor manually.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Now, there's your problem :-)
OK, I am just kidding. Do what ralph said and run system-config-display from the command line.

that's not installed with kde. so i installed it with yumex. run it. set my monitor and my resolution both as 1024x768. startx. and i got blank screen.
replace xorg.conf with the backup to get back to my old low resolution.
anything else i can try out?

Within X, if the resolution doesn't produce a picture, try CNTL-[minus sign] and/or CNTL-[plus sign] to switch among resolutions and refresh rates.
If all else fails, try CNTL-ALT-Backspace to break out of X. Sometimes that will help, other times you need to visit CNTL-ALT-F1 for a tty session for additional troubleshooting.
Hope that helps.

Were you able to select your monitor from the list or are you choosing some kind of generic monitor?
Move your existing xorg.conf out of the way before running system-config-display so that it's forced to start from scratch. It probably got the wrong HorizSync and VertRefresh values.
If that doesn't work you'll need to find a manual or other description of your monitor and set HorizSync and VertRefresh and possibly a couple of Modeline entries by hand.

yes. i removed xorg.conf to generate it from scratch. i selected generic 1024x768 monitor. still cant get 1024x768 to work. on some other distro and livecd i can even get 1280x1024.
800x600 works perfect. but it's just too low for me.

SO ... rsync that xorg.conf file off that machine (or copy it to the hard drive somewhere if the live CD can do that) and use it in CentOS-5.
It should be interchangeable.

sorry to bring up this old thread. i just have time to try this again.
i boot up puppy linux from usb and copy the xorg.conf from it. puppy can display 1024x768 resolution in my hardware. but after i copy the working xorg.conf from puppy into centos, the centos X just wont start at all.
below attached the xorg.conf content from puppy linux for your review.
so anything i can correct to make it work on centos 5.1???

Just a guess: perhaps you need that utility to "fix" the gfx card's bios ? http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/915resolution/

Haven't found that one in CentOS, you should be able to drop it.

Fonts are in /usr/share/X11/fonts on CentOS, but CentOS uses a font server, so drop those lines and add:
