I have not successfully installed neither
Suse 12.2, nor Fedora 17
nor Ubuntu with TDE. Everything worked fine at 1024x768 but not 1380x1024.
I think that I saw a "TDE live CD" functioning in 1380x1024, but which one
1380x1024 is not a standard mode. Probably the video driver is rejecting it
as no match to the display's EDID report.
What is your output from 'lspci | grep VGA'?
If you've repeated a typo, and what you're after is actually 1280x1024, and
your display actually supports 1280x1024, then there are several things you
can try, some of which François ANDRIOT wrote about.
When there is no provided configuration utility to build you an xorg.conf
file easily, you nevertheless can build one manually. Try using
http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/xorg.conf-minimal-force-DPI as a starter, but with
the DisplaySize line commented out if you don't wish to force DPI. If it
fails initially, try adding the following to 'Section "Monitor"':
HorizSync 28-91
VertRefresh 55-76
If you have access to the specifications for your display, substitute the
values it provides for the above.
In openSUSE (as well as various other distros) instead of putting all configs
in xorg.conf, you may find it easier to use the smaller files in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ as alluded to in
http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/xorg.conf-minimal-force-DPI.
Something he also did not mention that could possibly help is putting the
video mode desired on the kernel cmdline, e.g. video=1280x1024@75 or
video=1280x1024@60.
(?), I also saw my screen saying that the frequencies
were out of range. I
unsuccessfully tryed some X related commands found in Ubuntu web site. That
is, I still dont have a clean TDE installation.
As François ANDRIOT wrote, your problem isn't specific to TDE. If you put
your Xorg.0.log file where readers can see it without wrapping (e.g.
pastebin), then someone may spot your specific problem. Likely you're using
the VESA driver and your BIOS fails to include 1280x1024. VESA is a fallback
you don't want to be using normally.
