Re: problems with xorg screen resolution

[Paul Issott <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rohit

I managed to mix/match your Xorg.conf with the nv driver and get
a working resolution (thanks). I've included my Xorg.conf also.

In a way, I'm really going to miss the 'tiny' Xvesa server.

It handled my 1400 x 900 (Nvidia card) resolution with ease
and it also made SliTaz different from the other distros.

Hopefully we can find a way to get Xorg working out of the box?
