Hello. I have a strange problem with my xorg configuration. It only runs at
1024x768, but I want to change it to 1280x1024. This is the screen section
from my /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection

This is a duplicate of the previous subsection (same bit depth).

But it steal running at 1024x768.

What does xdpyinfo say? You should see something like

depth of root window: 24 planes

You will need a subsection entry for this depth.
