On GNU/Linux i use custom display resolutions a lot, added from xorg.conf modelines.
How can we add these resolution on ReactOS as well? Is that a simple text file to edit (like /etc/X11/xorg.conf on GNU/Linux), or do we need a special tweak tool for that?
(these modelines can be obtained from http://arachnoid.com/modelines/ or http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl )
thanks in advance!

ReactOS is a Windows-like OS, custom mode can be added via registry setting.

As far as I'm aware, that's not (easily) possible. The best-case scenario is to use one of the following tools:
I believe the first two support command line use as well.
The only other option is to use something like:
To change your X resolution, but I'm not convinced that you could get this to work (at all).
The only other option is to use something like:
Code: Select all
REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\VIDEO\{GUID}\0000\Mon12345678 /v DefaultSettings.XResolution /t REG_DWORD /d 400

Also it appears that the modeline features allows you to customize the display timings, while I'm not aware of a similar feature on Windows.

You should have a look at the sample monitor inf file from the Windows DDK and related documentation to get a clue how to archive what you want.nitrofurano1 wrote:How can we add these resolution on ReactOS as well?
Well, if you add a custom mode to your monitor, you have to tell the system which timings it uses.hbelusca wrote:Also it appears that the modeline features allows you to customize the display timings, while I'm not aware of a similar feature on Windows.
