Changing resolution on VL7 STD stuck at 60hz and 1024x768 (Solved)

[fogpipe]

I need to be at 1280x1024 which i know this monitor and video hardware will do.

Here is my xorg.conf

I had the same issue when I first installed Vector Linux 7.0.  The tool vasm was able to fix this.  vasm can be found under Menu/System/vasm (it can be found in the System section of the Menu).  After I used this tool to adjust it, I think I had to reboot, and then when I checked Menu/Settings/Display, I was able to change the resolution to 1084X768 (mine was stuck at 800X600).  I may have had to reboot here.  

I'm not sure exactly what option I chose under vasm, but it was not the default option (it was a reasonably evident choice though).  Sorry I can't be a little more specific.  It was a while ago that I installed VL7.0.  I'm sure vasm will allow you to increase your screen resolution though.

vasm didnt work.

[MarkGrieveson]

Sorry to hear that.  I'm surprised, because after I ran it, it gave me the option to change the resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768 or 1280x1024, which were options that were previously unavailable to me.

[MarkGrieveson]

Perhaps if you select SUPER first, and then XWINDOW, and then XCONF, and then VXCONF, then I think it may work.

[fogpipe]

I have exhausted the options vasm offers. Changing the resolution in vasm has no actual effect on the resolution when x actually runs after my attempts at vasm confg, no matter what i choose i still get 1024x768@60hz. As i said previously, i have tried vasm.

Some experimentation with modelines did the trick. The last one yielded satisfactory results:
