IceWM resolution on Ubuntu 8.04

[Ice72]

Hi,

I have installed IceWM on an ubuntu 8.04.  I'm trying to change
resolution
from 1280x1024 (LCD monitor native)  to 1024x768 but I
obtain no success.

I have tried with gnome and I could do this without
any problem.

I have tried to change /etc/X11/x-org.conf but it is
ignored. Also tried with
"xrandr" ... same result.   :(

Any idea?

TIA

IceWM is only window manager, it does not set a resolution.

Correct name is /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Xrandr is for dynamic settings. If it lists upon issuing command this
resolution, it is possible to change it in the fly with
xrandr -s 1024x768.

I do not understand why to use interpolated resolution on LCD, but it's
your decision. If you need bigger fonts, then just change DPI.

Go here in your xorg.conf file and change the first mode resolution
to whatever you want it to be. Like mine is "1280x1024" make your
first line "1024x768"

If that doesn't do it, sorry. That's the way I do it. Your machine
may vary.
