Hi,

I'm currently working on a InternetKiosk using dsl an the booth extension. (Can be found here :< Booth > )

I want to use a widescreen TFT-Display with 1440x900 pixels.

I edit the .xserverrc-file to :

Code Sample

exec /usr/bin/X11/Xvesa -screen 1440x900x32

But it dos not work.
My display does not support the H/V-sync values X uses.

Is there any way to change this with a parameter in .xserverrc ?

Nope

Your best hope is to install the XFree86.dsl extension and configure a modeline that works with your display.

a quite simple way how to configure x is running knoppix 3.4. boot it and copy the x config file.

tataa... here's your setup.

Have you tried the framebuffer option. See the wiki under cheatcodes & then the vga=option (there is a link to a page giving a better description of the famebuffer modes & how to get at the numbers required for the framebuffer mode for unlisted modes).

Not really jet ....

... tried some of the codes for testing .....

But I think it is not very difficult to combine the booth and the Xfree exeption.
So I'll do it this way ...
(It's nearly working jet ...)
