X and Fluxbox :: Resolution Issue

Xvesa and Xfbdev doesn't use a XF86Config file. If you are using the full Xfree86 X-server take a look at:

Alas, Linux on Laptops no longer has an article pertaining to the Toshiba Portege 300CT.

I'm not using a full Xfree86 server....I'm using the default DSL X, of which I've tried both Xvesa and Xfb. Where are the config files for this?

From what I've read, there are no config files for these two mini-Xservers. The config is stored in xsetup. And apparently, these both won't allow a resolution of 1024x600. I believe you'll need a full blown X in order to get it. Am I correct in this assumption?

I think that you are correct when referring to the xvesa server.

However, if you can somehow create a 1024x600 framebuffer at bootup time my guess is that the Xfbdev server would work with this resolution.

Sounds reasonable. Would I have to specify this in the
lilo.conf file? From what I've been researching, the command would be something like "fb1024x600". I also hear that you may have to specify this in a hex value. I've tried running
"XFbdev -screen 1024x600x16" at a prompt, but that doesn't do anything.

I'm a fair Linux user and I really like these mini-distros...I just haven't found one in the few that I've tried that will display that resolution.

Thanks
