Subject:    [Cooker] XFdrake/X problem: X does not use set resolution

Hello,

I encountered a strange problem today. I tried changing the default
resolution from 1024x768 to 1152x768. So I started XFdrake and choose
this resolution with a colour depth of 16 bit, I also choose to use
XFree86 4.2.0 with 3D acceleration. But now when restarting X, it still
uses the 1024x768 resolution, although the XF86Config and XF86Config-4
files were changed. I've added my XF86Config-4 file.

Could it be that X is somehow using another configfile? Is there a way
to verify which configfile X uses?

I have a Matrox Millenium G400 and Philips 107B monitor.

Frederik Himpe
