  • Unable to get higher resolution 800x600 & monitor doesn't detected

    Posted on

    I am not able to get higher resolution in RHEL 6 (santigo) i.e. 800x600. apart from this monitor is also not detected.

    below I have provided necessary details.

    [root]#cat /etc/release
    [root]#RHEL server release 6.0 (Santiago)

    [root]#uname –mrs
    [root]#Linux 2.6.32-72.el6.i686

    Note- RHEL 6.0 doesn't create any Xorg.conf file. So, there is no such file /X11/Xorg.conf file at this location.

    My main concern is to get other resolution which I have mention below in GUI mode.

    Modes "1280x1024" "1280x800" "1024x768" "1024x800" "800x600" "640x480"

    further additional information.
