Hi All,
I've seen some people mention problems with specific resolutions in 9.11 beta. I have experimented several hours now with this and just need to ask some questions. I have looked around and found some tips, but nothing that solves this.
I'm now running Live 9.11 beta 2 installed on a Usb memory. I'm running on an Nvidia ION platform.
I've read all the guides regarding the resolution settings using xorg.conf and do need to state some things, and ask some questions.
Just when I was writing this I saw that the 9.11 RC1 Live version just arrived for downloading. I will install that one and see if there are any changes.
It would be very nice if someone had any answers to this. It's kind of the last thing I would like to have working in my HTPC before I can consider it the perfect solution.

- As several here have said. There isn't any xorg.conf in the 9.11 Beta2. In the /etc/X11/ directory there is only the XF86Config file
- If running "sudo nvidia-xconfig" it will not make a xorg.conf file. But it does make a new version of the XF86Config file.
- If I make changes in the file. Adding what needs to be added and then restart the computer, the XF86Config will revert back to the original content.
- I then tried to make the changes off-line by downloading the XF86Config file to my computer, and made the changes there. But then I was not allowed to sftp that file back again, not enough permissions.
- I tried to change the permissions with "chmod 333 XF86Config", but I was not allowed to.
- Is there any way at all to SFTP the files back to the folder?
- OK, and the actually important question here. What might be wrong? And how should I go about to be able to edit the XF86Config file? And is it really that file that I should be making the changes in?
