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

And this output too if it's any help.
