Hello,
After installation of the CentOS 6.2 I noticed that I can't change resolution of my display beyond 1024x786 61Hz. Why is that so, that I am stuck with 1024x786, while my old laptop screen has default resolution of 1280x800 at 60Hz in Windows 7 and Ubuntu? My display driver is Intel 965 graphics controller. I checked via following commands [root@centos X11]# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | more Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "vesa" EndSection [root@centos X11]# xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 800 x 600, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768 default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1024x768 61.0* 800x600 61.0 My question is how can I change the max resolution to 1280x800 so that whenever I boot I get my desirable resolution? Your help will be much appreciated. |

Ok then where should I enter the configuration of my display to make 1280x800 at 59 Hz the default value instead of 1024x768?

You should not have to enter the configuration manually. If the adapter supports the desired resolution it should be a choice in the GUI Display configuration. You should be able to see the available modes with xrandr. If the desired mode is not present the ELRepo xorg-x11-drv-intel package may be worth a try.
If more help is needed then please provide more information about your system by running "./getinfo.sh" and showing us the output file. |

You probably don't even need the newer version of xorg-x11-drv-intel that's in ELRepo - is it already installed and if not, try installing it from the CentOS repos first.

That's hardly all the relevant information. The kernel you are running, at the top of the output is highly relevant, and the repo configs may be as well.
I agree with Trevor that the ELRepo packages are only needed if things are not working correctly. |

Try this
Now see what happens when you (re)start your X environment. |

Nothing happened :). As these are kernel mode drivers, so if i try this package xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.18.0-1.fc17.x86_64.rpm then what would be the consequences? Fatal? If not fatal to corrupt the installation then may I try those? I know that the drivers shipped with kernel 2.6.35 were fine. Quote: [root@xenon X11]# yum install xorg-x11-drv-intel |

Installing Fedora packages on EL is a Very Bad Idea [TM]! The ELRepo packages are based on the same upstream sources, but built for EL6 and not Fedora. |

EPEL != ELRepo Quote:
Your repo configs are a rather large mess. ![]() ATrpms, EPEL, RPMforge, and linuxtech are all mutually incompatible to some degree. You have the yum priorities plugin enabled but have priorities defined only for [atrpms] and [epel] which means those will override all the rest, including core repos, as the default is priority 99 - the lowest. Core packages may already have been overwritten, but fortunately ATrpms and EPEL are pretty good about not doing that, at least unless [atrpms-testing] is enabled. As a first cut, I'd define "priority=1" for CentOS repos, and insert "enabled=0" in the repo configs for all 3rd party repos. It is still unclear if the ELRepo package for xorg-x11-drv-intel will help, but if you want to try it you need to install elrepo-release and If you want to use [elrepo-extras] packages with yum-plugin-priorities enabled you must give that repo priority=1 and/or excluded needed packages from the CentOS repo configs as it contains packages that replace core packages. Using it as above is probably preferable unless you are very comfortable with the content there and with your (hopefully improved) repo configs. |

thanks Phil for pointing out the repo mess. My mistake!!! I'll set the proper priority of these. Let's see the testing el repo. I'll post soon enough. Thanks once again

Looks good now. All disabled except base and updates. Though, nothing new happened, so this is my guess that I gotta be happy with current config as nothing more I may be able to do till a RHEL 7.0 based CentOS 7.0 gets released with new kernel and latest xorg drivers. I don't wanna go back to Gnome 3.x or Unity (Damn slow) as I love Gnome 2.x.
However, if there is still a solution to driver problem then, I'll appreciate to become aware about that. Thanks Quote: == BEGIN sed -n -e "/^\[/h; /priority *=/{ G; s/\n/ /; s/ity=/ity = /; p }" /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo | sort -k3n == |

If I were you I'd try the [elrepo-extras] or -testing drivers, but then if you look at the Packager, you may suspect that I'm somewhat prejudiced.

Hmm
![]() Having seen the previous mess that the repositories' configuration were in, it might be an idea to first perform a yum controlled re-install of the packages -- Assuming that completes without error, then re-boot the system. Once it is back running, now install the configuration file to be able to access the ELRepo Project repositories. Then you should be good to yum update the relevant xorg-x11-drv-intel package . . . |

If you no longer have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf and your log file still says that it's loading the 'vesa' driver then I think you need to force it to use the intel driver. The 965 is so old that it really ought to be supported by the current xorg-x11-drv-intel package without needing to use newer ones. You might try running `X -configure` and then using the resulting config file that that generates or you could try hand crafting your own, perhaps mine from a 945 based system might help...

OK X -configure failed to create new file as the number of displays reported and detected were not the same (Though I am just using the laptop display ONLY).
So far I have reached at the conclusion that the CentOS is using the VESA while OpenSUSE is using the Intel Driver. I did few things as under: Quote: xrandr --newmode "1280x800"x60.0 69.30 1280 1296 1344 1416 800 801 804 816 -hsync -vsync Then I turned to OpenSUSE 12.1 LiveCD and checked the xorg.log file. My current file is here Quote: [ 143.801] (II) VESA(0): Unknown vendor-specific block f While the OpenSUSE 12.1 LiveCD file is here where I can clearly watch LVDS1 being detected. Quote: [ 186.978] (II) intel(0): Unknown vendor-specific block f Both the xorg.log files and the new xorg.conf.new are here xorg.conf.new Xorg-OpenSUSE.log Xorg-CentOS.log |

I really dislike your choice of paste host - they suck
![]() The CentOS log clearly shows that it's still using the vesa driver and not the intel one. I'm afraid I'm confused about which file is which and what you did. Why not just try the Suse xorg.conf on CentOS? |
