Xfce Display Settings

[straightv6]

Right now my resolution is 1024x768. I would like to set it a little higher but the next resolution is 1280x1024, which makes everything a little too small. is there a way to set it inbetween 1024x768 and 1280x1024?

save old xorg.conf file(back it up just in case) then hand edit it to what you want and save it, restart X

its well commented, you will see a section with your monitor settings and reslolutions and color depths, change that

If it's an LCD and you set it to an awkward resolution it isn't going to look very good though...

i added the 1152x864 but i still don't have the option to change it

take the 1280x1024 out

i took out the 1280x1024 and it no longer shows up in the list but 1152x864 still doesn't show up.

as an X setting or in xfce itself? Might be the way xfce is if thats the case........X doesnt care

may be able to compile in a wider range of choices in xfce but I doubt it

after i deleted 1280x1024 from the xorg.conf it didn't show up in the xfce list.

is there a way to override the xfce settings?
