I am trying to setup the external port not the LCD to be 1366x768. I added a modeline to xorg.conf of: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "LCD Panel 1600x1200" HorizSync 31.5 - 90.0 VertRefresh 60.0 - 60.0 ModeLine "1024x768" 65.0 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806 -hsync -vsync ModeLine "1024x768" 54.2 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806 -hsync -vsync ModeLine "1366x768" 85.5 1366 1494 1624 1798 768 770 776 795 -hsync +vsync Option "dpms" EndSection

I looked at the specs of the media 900 and it does something like 25XXx10XX

What am I not setting up correctly to see the 1366x768?

THanks so much,

I had a similar problem trying to set 1400x1050 on a Siemens Fujitsu Laptop. The fix for me, was to use 915 resolution from http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/ as it seems the Intel video bios has a limited set of resolution modes

Hope this helps
