That file most likely sets the resolution to 800x600. In what way were you unable to get X Configured? What happens when you as root run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 If you have modified the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 -file yourself, debconf refuses to alter it, so you need to read from the FAQ how to get that file back under debconf control. http://necrotic.deadbeast.net/xsf/XFree86/trunk/debian/local/FAQ.xhtml http://necrotic.deadbeast.net/xsf/XFree86/trunk/debian/local/FAQ.xhtml#forceoverwriteconf -- Tapio Lehtonen Tapio.Lehtonen@IKI.FI GPG public key from http://www.iki.fi/Tapio.Lehtonen
