Thanks Daniel, I am not using tvout, just a LCD monitor. You're right,=20 there's no 1280x1024 in the above file! Changed it to 1024x768 and it work= s,=20 although the quality of the image is poor (it looks sort of pixelated). What controls what resolutions exist in that file? =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart2217666.Dzq2TrylRR Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD4DBQBH8A+v5Fp0QerLYPcRAoLWAJj2OJsWfetJ4ujhhkeoAS0FeFGpAJ0aWD8W 6c7SDncIyhEHUHQoRas80Q== =m0Yk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2217666.Dzq2TrylRR-- -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
