  • Xorg Configuration for Unregistered Resolution

    have a monitor with native resolution of 1600*900_60.00, and the intel on board Gen3 Xeon video chipset (i915).
    when i do "$> xrandr" the 1600x900 resolution is not in the list. I tried to write an xorg configuration for monitor and I placed it on /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf. but i must mess some value in there up; that it ha no effect and doesn't change the resolution.
    I am sure the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf is being read at "$> startx" because if i put anything wrong like ()*! at that file X won't start and produce an error.
    The cvt 1600 900 returns:

    The cvt 1600 900 returns:
    Code:

    also the xrandr produce:

    Code:

    And this is my 10-monitor.config file:

    Identifier  "Intel i915" 
      Option   "VGA1" #"VGA screen" 
      Driver      "intel"

      Option      "PreferredMode" "1600x900" 
    EndSection 
    Section "Screen" 
         Identifier    "Screen0" 
         Device        "VGA1"
