Same here; I am rarely able to get the X configuration tools in a
default Debian install to work satisfactorily.
I have 1400x1050 working on my C600 with Sarge netinstall. I first had
Ubuntu (5.04?) on it and the X configuration went well. Not so with
the straight Debian (on second thought, it may be testing rather than
Sarge; doesn't Sarge use Xfree and Etch Xorg?). But I copied the
Ubuntu xorg.conf over from a nfs mounted backup and X now works well.
I wonder how one might get the Knoppix/Ubuntu/etc X configuration tools
installed in straight Debian?
