My native screen resolution is 1440x900
xorg.conf has entries for this resolution but system/preferences/screen resolution does not.
How do I force Mint Bea to start in this resolution, and to use it as the default?

to get my 1440x900 resolution to work i had to use read-edid
http://john.fremlin.de/programs/linux/r ... 4.1.tar.gz
http://john.fremlin.de/programs/linux/r ... 4.1.tar.gz
1. Download read-edid.tar.gz the source tarball for x86 linux/DOS.
2. Untar.
% tar zxf read-edid-1.4.1.tar.gz
3. Compile.
% cd read-edid-1.4.1/
% make
4. Try to read the EDID from the hardware under linux. You must be the superuser (root) because this stage interfaces directly with the hardware, a somewhat risky business.
root# make read-edid
5. If everything ran smoothly, a Xorg Config monitor description should have been printed . You should replace your monitor section in xorg.conf with it and add your resolution to the display section.
