Can't change resolution
I've just installed Debian sarge and the resolution is awful, 800x600. I can't change it to the 1024x768 that I normally use. I only get a choice between 800x600 or 640x480.
The graphics is onboard 810 which I originally set it up to, but it makes no difference. I've since tried vesa, as that's what it said on the screen after I'd used Knoppix which ran ok. I want to keep sarge on here but I won't be able to like this. :( I've already tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 but I get lost in all the settings. Here's the monitor section from XF86Config4 Section "Device" Identifier "Generic Video Card" Driver "vesa" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Generic Monitor" HorizSync 28-49 VertRefresh 43-72 Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "Generic Video Card" Monitor "Generic Monitor" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 1 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 4 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 15 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection EndSection And this output too if it's any help. localhost:/home/michael# lspci 0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 82810 GMCH [Graphics Memory Controller Hub] (rev 03) 0000:00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82810 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] (rev 03) 0000:00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801AA PCI Bridge (rev 02) 0000:00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82801AA ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 02) 0000:00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801AA IDE (rev 02) 0000:00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801AA USB (rev 02) 0000:00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corp. 82801AA SMBus (rev 02) 0000:01:03.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live!

Not sure if this appies to your problem as well: I had to modify the BIOS setting to free more video RAM (changed from 1 MB to 8MB) to be able to get higher resolutions than 800x600.

It's worth trying I suppose. :)
Thanks :) |
