Re: [trinity-users] 1280x1024 monitor: was Re: [trinity-users] settings for a 1024x768 monitor that Trinity insists on recognising as 800x600.

As I say, it gets recognised in VGA, so I haven't had to do anything for ages. 800x600 was ghastly, and 1024x768 was dredged from my memory. It was only when I used it that I realised that, hugely improved as it was, and usable as it was, it still wasn't right. So I did what I should have done in the first place, and read the manual. (What was that that someone said about RTFM? :-( ) The optimum resolution is 1280x1024. Here is my /var/log/Xorg.0.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1495223/ It says near the beginning that /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d was consulted, and didn't have the necessary information, so it is using the default monitor. That presumably is at least part of the problem. So "all" I have to do now is put the necessary information into xorg.conf.d? And I will sail off into the rainbow? Or is there in fact a lot more that I ought to do? I shall Google for xorg.conf.d and see what Google advises. Thanks again, Slávek, for telling me which log to look at, and for all your help. Lisi
