switching to a higher resolution
I have not installed nvidia. the highest option is available on xfce4>settings>display is 1280x1024. I would like to switch to 1680x1050. tks. cezar
What is output by `xrandr --verbose`? If EDID information is being reported properly, it should show you the possible resolutions for your monitor (presumably containing 1680x1050, since that's what you're expecting.) if not, It may be that your EDID information is goofed and you need to tell Xorg to augment that information with more resolutions by adding modelines to your Xorg.conf (or however the hell it's supposed to be done now)
tks bryan . no xorg.conf . I will try to make the changes you told me and augment the information as my monitor contais the 1680x1050 resolution. 2015-01-18 22:49 GMT-02:00 Bryan Bennett <bbenne10@gmail.com>:

Hi Bryan the answer is ''cannot open display'' and no xorg.conf... Em 18/01/2015 22:49, "Bryan Bennett" <bbenne10@gmail.com> escreveu:

What X driver are you using? I seem to remember that the vesa/VGA drivers only supported 4:3 ratios or something like that, which might explain this behavior. If you're using Intel or similar, it might be that your EDID info is not being reported properly (or something doesn't know how to read it correctly. I can't really say). This[1] explains how to add undetected resolutions. Google also had much more info. 1: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xrandr#Adding_undetected_resolutions
