Default Can't get 1024x768 resolution

Hi,

I did a Slackware 9.1 install without the KDE (3.1.4?) and XFree86
(4.3?) packages included in the disc, then I installed the XFree86
4.4.0 adn KDE 3.2.3 packages downloaded from net. With xf86config I
configured X with these options:

31.5 - 57.0; High Frequency SVGA 1024x768 @ 70Hz
sync 50 - 70
Generic VESA compatible or S3 86C365 (Trio3D)
video mem 4096k
"1024x768" "1024x768" "1024x768" for 24-bit
color depth 24-bits

After starting up KDE, I can't seem to get 1024x768 display, instead I
can only use the 640x480 resolution.

How do I get it to use 1024x768 resolution?

I am using a S3 86C365 (Trio3D) display card on a Celeron.

Please advise.

Thanks

Try the keyboard command:

Ctrl-Alt-[+,-]

I have Samsung 757NF. Hope it helped.

If it doesn't, you may also try to fixit with xvidtune program. You've
got it with your Slack.
