What docs have you read before attempting this...?
I have so called wide screen resolution working on my laptop @1208x800
I simply created my own /etc/xorg.conf file after determining the
Modeline values
to be: Modeline "1280x800@60" 83.91 1280 1312 1624 1656 800 816 824
841
in: Section "Monitor"
There is a binary - I think in /usr/X11R6/bin I think that will return
the correct numbers
your your video card. Too bad I cant remember what it is called..
Then changing the SubSection "Display" Depth 24 area in: Section
"Screen" to:
Modes "1280x800" rather than a whole list of useless window sizes.

I dont think you can do this with XSun

Thanks for the information. Someone else told me that the latest
version of Open Solaris works ok with the laptop so have switched to
that with no problems.
