Re: Sarge nvidia: too low resolution

[Søren Dyrsting <soren@dyrsting.dk>]

Thanks for all the answers. None worked. A part of my XF86Config-4 
listed below, where I have tried different settings. The settings for 
HorizSync and VertRefresh are taken from my screen manual.
I will keep on trying. The funny thing is that some tool named xf86conf 
or something, actually can display it self in the right resolution but 
it writes to the wrong config file and it disconnects my mouse and keyboard.
A kingdom for my XF86Config-4 from my previous deleted linux 
installation :o)
Thanks again. I will keep you posted if I figure it out.
Still open for suggestions.
