quadro fx 770m: can't change resolution

C

on my hp elitebook the resolution of 1920x1200 is too high for me, the stuff is too small on the screen to view... i tried 1440x900 and 1680x1050 using the 'Modes' line in xorg.conf but the X's resolution remains 1920x1200 no matter what... from the xorg log i can see that this is a native resolution for this laptop and there are no other resolutions listed other than 1920x1200, because I know that in xorg log you can view the list of supported resolutions... is there any way to change it? using the nv driver for the quadro fx 770m
 
Look for these line in your xorg.conf, put the modes in the order that you want. If you only want one size just put it there.

Code: 
SubSection     "Display"
  Depth       24
  Modes      "1680x1050" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection

You also might want to try the Nvidia driver with a Quadro. I have a Quadro FX1700 and I find the Nvidia driver better for it than the nv. And if you use that driver you can then install nvidia-settings which will allow you to tweak your display settings.
 
yep, just prior to reading you reply i installed and using nvidia-driver now, this one supports all kinds of resolutions and it's faster... thanks for pointing that out here anyway... wow, this works smooth and silky
