Hello all -

I have just purchased a dell 1905fp 19" monitor. It's default resolution
is 1280x1024@60Hz, according to the documentation. My laptop is a
thinkpad x40 -- it's LCD's default resolution is 1024x768. 

Fn-F7 has switched me over to the 19", but I am unable to xrandr -s
1280x1024. When I do, it prints out the same thing as when I type xranrd
--help.

xrandr by itself prints this out: 

 SZ:    Pixels          Physical       Refresh
*0   1024 x 768    ( 382mm x 315mm )  *75
 1    800 x 600    ( 382mm x 315mm )   75
 2    640 x 480    ( 382mm x 315mm )   75
Current rotation - normal
Current reflection - none
Rotations possible - normal
Reflections possible - none

I have modified my xorg.conf to include two monitors and two screen
sections. The second screen section uses the dell "Monitor1." 

It seems I don't have a 1280x1024 option for xrandr, however. 

Any insight would be appreciated. I have attached my xorg.conf.

Thank you very much.

-David
