      Oh… no, Still not completely fixed…

      The only resolutions I can pick now are 1280×768, 1024×768, 800×600 and 640×480.

      The hardware screen resolution is 1280 x 800 so now everything is still not sharp… I don’t understand why this resolution is not listed, since it seems that it was in the input?

      Hope you have some more tips…

      1. I’ll dig more.

          Yes I did, no result. I’ve also removed the other modes to check if this does anything. But the options are still the same…

            • eelke on August 24, 2017 at 6:41 pm

            When I change the numbers behind Virtual (in the lines below) to 1280 800, I do get more resolution options, but the screen is still a bit blurry….

            Section “Screen”
            Identifier “Default Screen”
            Monitor “Configured Monitor”
            Device “Configured Video Device”
            Defaultdepth 24
            SubSection “Display”
            Depth 24
            Virtual 1280 768
            Modes “1280×768@60” “1280×720@60” “800×600@60” “1280×800@60” “800×600@56”
            EndSubSection
            EndSection
