Good day,
I would like to first test and then use centos 5.5.
I downloaded centos 5.5 x86_64 live CD.
Problem...screen resolution only 800x600.
In fedora 14 it is 1024x768, same in debian squeeze and opensuse11.3.
Could there be a way to increase the resolution? in either i386 or x86_64.
Thanks Regards Johan

What graphics card& monitor do you have?
In debian this...
johan@Johan:~$ lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10)
johan@Johan:~$ xdpyinfo | grep dimensions dimensions: 1024x768 pixels (339x203 millimeters)
Ok, I did look into system-monitors and only 800x600 was available. Remember this is a live CD x86_64.
Thanks Johan

I think that means it wasn't able to auto-detect the monitor type. Can you set it in system/administration/display in the hardware tab?

Ok, have to shut down debian and boot centos. Be back.

While booting I had a closer look at the screen and saw.. unsupported sis chipset (device i/d 0671).
Looked into hardware..reverted to vesa driver. Set it to sis card and logged out..system complained and went into non-graphics. Went through screen options and eventualy back to graphics and vesa.
Had the same problem with debian and a list member after a lot of suffering found a work around in the xorg.conf. After that it works fine. the specific sis card seem to be problemic in some OS's. suse and fedora seem to have no problem. Fedora..could not find a xorg.conf file?. Maybe copy it.
If centos resolution problem be not fixable I will have to pass. Would be a pitty.
I really do appreciate your time spend to solve this. Regards Johan

Manual configuration always works, when everything else failed :
# init 3 # cd /etc/X11 # mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.orig # cd # X -configure # mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Give it a try :
# startx
See if you get something, and then we'll see for the next steps.
Cheers,
Niki

the command init 3 not found in command line ...user or root.
Complain that X is still running with
X -configure
This is new to me and maybe I am doing something wrong
Thanks Johan

The little dash made the difference. I did not know about it.
Sorry.. the resolution stays at 800x600 and option lower.
Could we try something else Thanks Johan
