I have just replaced my monitor and the video card.

Now, suddenly, when I boot the computer I get the error message: "Undefined

your video card, IMO requires an extra xorgconfig to be run.

test it according to this.

Xorg -config xorg.conf.new -retro

In menu.lst the entry for the boot video mode is 'vga=348' (and has been for
years) which equates to a resolution of 1440x900.

The monitor supports this resolution of 1440x900.

Does anyone know, please, in which 12.1 oS file the video resolutions are
defined so that I can check if '348' is there?

(There were some upgrades done this morning and I wonder if one of them
produced this change?)

Thanks Sujit for your response.

As you would have read by now the problem is solved with the use of 'hwinfo --framebuffer' as I wrote in my reply to Brian.

I haven't tried the Xorg -config test as yet but will do so and will add it to my list in the little black book of 'useful things to know'.
