Fluxbox at full resolution with vmware and karmic

[alankennedy100]

Hi

I am using Karmic Ubuntu on vmware and have installed fluxbox. I can get the GNOME desktop at full resolution (1280 x 800), but not fluxbox. By default fluxbox will boot with 800 x 600

I've tried creating a basic xorg.conf in /etc/X11 (Karmic didn't come with one) but the maximum resolution I get is 1280 x 720. Logging into GNOME when the xorg.conf is there it also only offers that resolution.

Any ideas on what I can do with xorg.conf so that I can have full resolution in both GNOME and fluxbox.

Bellow is the xorg.conf I've tried

Thanks,

Alan

Your problem might be a lack of video memory. Add more video memory to your virtual computer and see if it helps.
