I've just upgraded to 6.0 and I have a problem with my monitor resolution. Everything is stretched horizontally. (Otherwise, 6.0 looks great. ;D ;D Congratulations! And thank you for all the work!)

I've had this resolution problem before and it was solved back then by changing the vesa driver to openchrome in xorg.conf. When I tried this this time, the resolution went to 800x600 and the mouse cursor disappeared.

My graphics device is: "VIA CX700M2 UniChrome PRO II, VGA output, supports up to 2048 x 1536".

I tried dropping down to "init 3" and running "videoconfig", but that didn't sort things out.

When I go to >Settings >Display, the boxes for "Resolution:" and "Refresh rate:" are blank. I updated xorg-server from netpkg (http://zenwalk.linuxish.net/i486/current).

My current xorg.conf is below.

I've turned the compositor off. I've removed the "1680x1050_59.883" and replaced it with "1680x1050". And I've changed DefaultDepth to 16 (instead of 24).

Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Thanks gapan. That didn't change anything, unfortunately.

I'm going to try using the openchrome driver from zenwalk 5.2 snapshot, which I've still got. I'll let you know whether that works....

YES!!! \!D/ That worked! \!D/ :D

OK, here's what I did (so that just maybe I won't need to ask the next time):

I copied these two files from zenwalk 5.2 snapshot (overwriting the files that were there from 6.0):
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/openchrome_drv.so
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/openchrome_drv.la

And then changed the vesa driver to openchrome in xorg.conf

Wooweee. That's all it took. Zenwalk 6.0 looks even better when it isn't all stretched... ;)

So the openchrome driver in 6.0 doesn't work, but it worked in 5.2?

No - there was no openchrome driver with 5.2. So, I followed your advice (thanks very much!) and upgraded my xorg packages to snapshot (28 August 2008). If you want the full story it's here. (Oh and the turquoise shadow on the mouse cursor has gone 8) )
