First of all, you have written XF68Config-4 instead of XF86Config-4,
which I think is a typo. Just ensure you have the correct filename in
your system. I'm familiar with fedora, which uses xorg.conf
instead of XF86Config-4, but but things might be similar for debian. To
verify whether your XF86Config-4 file is haveing any effect, read
/var/log/Xorg.0.log or /var/log/XFree86.0.log (whichever is the correct
file for debian)<br>
<br>Do you have the line:<br>
Option "UseEdidFreqs" "true"<br>
under Section "Device" in your XF68Config-4 file? If not try setting it
to true or inserting this line. Then restart x server and read the log.
See what refresh rates EDID reports in the log. For example in my log,
these lines are :<br>
(II) NVIDIA(0): HorizSync : 30.000-75.000 kHz<br>
(II) NVIDIA(0): VertRefresh : 60.000 Hz<br>
(II) NVIDIA(0): (HorizSync from EDID)<br>
(II) NVIDIA(0): (VertRefresh from EDID)<br>
<br>
If EDID reports a range of vertrefresh frequencies and still you don't
get resolution options for those frequencies, you can add your own. for
example, I have this section in my xorg.conf file:<br>
<br>
Section "Modes"<br>
Identifier "16:10"<br>
# 1680x1050 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 65.22 kHz; pclk: 147.14 MHz<br>
ModeLine "1680x1050" 147.1 1680 1784 1968 2256
1050 1051 1054 1087<br>
# 1680x1050 @ 75.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 82.20 kHz; pclk: 188.07 MHz<br>
<br>
# 1400x875 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 54.36 kHz; pclk: 100.46 MHz<br>
Modeline
"1400x875_60.00" 100.46 1400 1480 1624 1848 875 876
879 906<br>
# 1400x875 @ 70.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 63.77 kHz; pclk: 119.89 MHz<br>
Modeline
"1400x875_70.00" 119.89 1400 1488 1640 1880 875 876
879 911<br>
<br>
# 1280x800 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 49.68 kHz; pclk: 83.46 MHz<br>
Modeline "1280x800_60.00" 83.46 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 828<br>
# 1280x800 @ 70.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 58.31 kHz; pclk: 98.89 MHz<br>
Modeline "1280x800_70.00" 98.89 1280 1352 1488 1696 800 801 804 833<br>
<br>
EndSection<br>
<br>
Do you have such a section? You can add your custom resolutions and
refresh frequencies using gtf. For example, if you want to insert a
modeline for a resolution of 1280x800 at a refresh rate of 70 Hz,
execute the following command:<br>
gtf 1280 800 70<br>
U might get an output like this:<br>
# 1280x800 @ 70.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 58.31 kHz; pclk: 98.89 MHz<br>
Modeline "1280x800_70.00" 98.89 1280 1352 1488 1696 800 801 804 833 -HSync +Vsync<br>
<br>
Copy the output ( I remove the -HSync +Vsync part) to the modes
section. To use your custom modes, u need to add these modes to the
Section "Screen". My screen section reads like this:<br>
Section "Screen"<br>
Identifier "LaptopScreen"<br>
Device "LaptopCard"<br>
Monitor "LaptopMonitor"<br>
DefaultDepth 24<br>
SubSection "Display"<br>
Depth 24<br>
Modes "1680x1050" "1600x1000" "1400x875" "1280x800"
"1152x864" "1024x720" "800x600" "640x480"<br>
EndSubSection<br>
SubSection "Display"<br>
Depth 16<br>
Modes "1680x1050" "1600x1000" "1400x875" "1280x800"
"1152x864" "1024x720" "800x600" "640x480"<br>
EndSubSection<br>
EndSection<br>
<br>
Now when u restart X server and read the log again, it will tell u
which modelines were not usable if any modelines were not suitable for
your system.<br>
<br>
btw, you can restart xserver by just pressing ctrl+alt+backspace. u will be logged out and u'll have to log in again.<br>
<br>
