I realized that I have the choice of 1024x768 OR 1280x1024, but no 1280x720. I have read that modification of your "Screen" section of the xorg.conf file is supposed to work, but when I add "1280x720" and restart, it doesn't show up on the Screen Resolution options drop-down menu. EDIT: If it is needed, my refresh rate is 75, and my video card is Intel 82945G. Help? Thanks! -Glen This post has been edited by Glunn11: Jul 10 2007, 11:23 AM
