I am assuming that you know a bit about how Xvesa works

After getting my Xfree86 working at my laptop's native resolution (1680x1050 on my inspiron 8600) I decided to attack Xvesa until I got it working, and the solution was easy!

my old, created-by-xfetup.sh .xserverrc file, looks like this

Code Sample
exec /usr/bin/X11/Xvesa -2button -mouse /dev/psaux -screen 1600x1200x32 -shadow -nolisten tcp -I &>/dev/null


The new one looks like this

Code Sample
exec /usr/bin/X11/Xvesa -2button -mouse /dev/psaux -screen 1680x1050x32 -shadow -nolisten tcp -I &>/dev/null


Easy, right?

Looks great! And it works with the other widescreen setting I have available, 1280x800!

Enjoy using the nice widescreen display at the native rez!
