i have a problem with this monitor

it supports high resolutions up to 1920x1440 but puppy works only on 1024X768
i tryied to choose a higher one on xorgwizard but x-window fails

Hi magerlab,
I would guess from your config, that even though the monitor can display higher resolutions
you are limited to what your video card can output as maximum resolution (1024X768).

but i tried with ubuntu livecd and it worked with

a higher resolution 1280x1024

can you compare the (resolution*color depth) between puppy and ubuntu
like 1024x768*16 (meaning 16 bit color) and horiz + vert refresh rates between puppy and ubuntu
.
