Wrong Screen Size
 
I just installed Debian for the first time. I however got my screen size installed wrong. How do I change the Allowed Screen size. I need to change it So I have the option to choose 1024x768.

Depends, most of the time, you have to change xorg.conf .

which card, and what is your xorg.conf (please, please!!! post it to a external site as a file if possible)

Doesn't Debian still use Xfree? I could be very wrong though.

Hi all! I know this may or may not be relevant to this thread, but I just installed the x86 version of Debian on an old IBM Aptiva E26 box that I want to use as my primary mail and web server. However, the problem I am having is that when I Alt-F7 to go to the GUI, I get a "signal out of range" message on my LCD monitor. Is there a utilities I can run like base-config that will let me change my X&Y sync rate? Any leads on this would be greatly appreciated!

there is a xorgconfig for xorg users, and xfreeconfig for xfree users I think... Use that to specify your hsync and vsync.

You have an LCD monitor, my laptop doesn't support hsync and vsync, I need to set it to the lowest default value, and add my resolution "1440x900" simply to the list, maybe it's the same story for you.

Otherwise it is possible to use:

dpkag-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

to set up the basic values for your XF86Config file.
Debian can use Xorg, no problem, even in sarge,
just go to :

http://backports.org/

cheers
