Configuring XFree86
 

I have configured my XF86Config-4 file, but for some reasoon my Debian system still loads up with 640x480 resolution and that is all I can use. I have an Intel 856 (i810) video card. Whenever I run "xf86cfg" the screen resolution is fine, but whenever I am at the desktop I still have the low resolution. Here's part of my configuration from my XF86Config-4 file:

Section "Device'
Identifier "Intel i810"
Driver "i810"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
End Section

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Gateway EV700"
HorizSync "30-140
VertRefresh "50-160
Option "DPMS"

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Intel i810"
Monitor "Gateway EV700"
Default Depth 16
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768"
End SubSection
End Section

Everything is configured properly. It should work!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I'm running Debian 3.1r1 Sarge

Hi,

try to reconfigure your XF4 server.

Using these commands:

I think it is caused by the missing quotation marks behind the numbers of your
HorizSync and VertRefresh. I also got this problem solved by this once.

Yeah, that worked, thanks guys, my video whenever I watch movies is still messed up, but at least I can see the screen.
