live cd resolution
I am using the live cd daryna but can't seem to change the resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768. My computer has an integrated nvidia graphics 6150LE. I tried using F4 to change the resolution as well as using envy and other things as well. What should I be doing to change this?

Re: live cd resolution
Sometimes you have to install to be able to do things like that.
Have you checked
Control Center > Hardware > Screen resolution

Re: live cd resolution
Yes, "Control Center > Hardware > Screen resolution" this was the first thing I tried. In ubuntu 7.10 I can go to screens and graphics, then make a couple of changes but with mint I don't get the desired result.
Re: live cd resolution
Hmm
open a terminal and give the command xvidtune
Click cancel in the box that opens up and you have the values for vertical and horizontal refresh (for your monitor) in the terminal
Compare those with the ones in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
It may be that your monitor is not detected right and you are limited by that
The refresh rates and the resolution are related especially the horizontal value

Here is part of my xorg.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "nVidia Corporation C51 [GeForce 6150 LE]"
Driver "nv"
BusID "PCI:0:5:0"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "nVidia Corporation C51 [GeForce 6150 LE]"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Her is the output from terminal
Vendor: , Model:
Num hsync: 1, Num vsync: 1
hsync range 0: 31.50 - 37.90
vsync range 0: 50.00 - 70.00
I'm not really sure what this tells me or what to do with this info.
Thanks for your replies btw.

Re: live cd resolution
As stated elsewhere "Safe graphics mode" (vesa) gives me 1024x768 or possibly better
have a 6600

Thanks for your reply, starting in safe graphics mode worked.
Re: live cd resolution
When the install has finished compare
-----------------
Vendor: , Model:
Num hsync: 1, Num vsync: 1
hsync range 0: 31.50 - 37.90
vsync range 0: 50.00 - 70.00
--------------------------
with what's in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you experience any problems with resolution and refresh rates
------------------
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
Horizsync 30-70
Vertrefresh 50-160
EndSection
-------------------------
Vertrefresh is another way of saying vsync
The values are really low, must be a very old and tired monitor - or?
And I suddenly see that the values I have are way out of line....
