Hello, all ...
I've run Debian Sarge (in a server context e.g. no desktop or GUI) on my VIA mini-itx 1ghz C3 box for a few years now, and it's been great. Now, though, I find myself wanting to use it as a desktop, so I installed Etch with all of the stuff.
However, I just bought a larger monitor for it that will do 1680x1050, but I can't get Etch to display anything more than 1024x768. I tried manually editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restarting, but to no avail. Is there a tool that I can run that will re-detect monitor type and max screen resolution? If not, how do I do it myself?
Regards,
John
