Hello,
This is my first time installing debian on this machine - a Gateway
G6333.
My problem is that I can only get X running in 320x200 mode. I
configured the XF86Config file using XF86Setup. My video card is an OEM
from Gateway - it's meant to be an STB Nitro DVD. I heard somewhere that
it has a riva128 chipset, and I know that it has 4 megs RAM. In the
XF86Setup program I chose riva128 as the card type from the card menu. I
tried alot of the modes given in the modes section (up as far as
1024x<whatever>) but I got the same resolution for all of them. I'm
guessing that it was 320x200, cos it looked so bad, and from looking at
the XF86Config file. In case it's any help here's the file :
