Ok...but it seems that my crt is not found... when I launch xrandr -q i
get that :
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 175, current 1400 x 1050, maximum 1400 x 1050
default connected 1400x1050+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1400x1050 60.0*
1280x1024 60.0
1280x960 60.0
1280x800 60.0
1280x768 60.0
1152x864 60.0
1152x768 60.0
1024x768 60.0
960x720 60.0
960x600 60.0
928x696 60.0
896x672 60.0
840x525 60.0
832x624 60.0
800x600 60.0
800x512 60.0
720x450 60.0
720x400 60.0
700x525 60.0
640x512 60.0
640x480 60.0
640x400 60.0
640x384 60.0
640x350 60.0
576x432 60.0
576x384 60.0
512x384 60.0
416x312 60.0
400x300 60.0
360x200 60.0
320x240 60.0
320x200 60.0
320x175 60.0
So I can't do anything else...and when I put the line with virtual in my
xorg.conf I have a big desktop but on a screen...so it's not an extended
desktop. The desktop is bigger that my screen...
is there a tip to have a detected crt monitor ?
Thx a lot
Guillaume
