OpenBSD 4.3 Screen Resolution
So, I still can’t correctly configure my /etc/xorg.conf file using xorgconfig or Xorg -configure. Everytime I try to add my native laptop resolution of 1280×800 it still goes back to 1024×768. So I keep deleting it and using no xorg.conf. OpenBSD then correctly detects my resolution.
However, I can’t downgrade it to 1024×768 at runtime. My main goal for doing that was to use the VGA cable to hook up my laptop to my Samsung 46″ LCD to watch movies and such. Under Ubuntu, I had to do this because my tv wouldn’t accept the 1280×800 resolution, but worked fine with 1024×768.
Just for the hell of it I decided to just hook up my OpenBSD laptop and reboot. Amazingly it actually output at 1920×1080 to my TV! I couldn’t get Ubuntu to do that! Simply Amazing. I just keep being impressed by the quality of OpenBSD. And I haven’t even started digging into the kernel sources yet
