X windows
As X usually starts in the HIGHEST supported resolution, it appears
that your config is broken for anything better than 320x240. This
usually happens when the server thinks that it does not have access to
enough video memory, or the proper clock rates. Run superprobe and
see what it finds. You may have to set the memory and clock rates by
hand in XF86Config if the probing fails. Make sure that your monitor
is proper for the desired dot freqs (ie scan rates fast enough), and
configure your monitor properly in XF86Config. Have you used
XF86Setup to create your config file. This was the easiest way for me
to get mine going.

hey, I recently got a new system, and decided that maybe this time my
video
card(now an STB nVidia, Riva 128 chipset, with 8 megs of
vram)...anyway, I
get it setup with XF86Setup and do startx, it starts, but in 320x240
resolution, I tried doing alt+ctrl+ +or- but that wouldn't work...after
that I tried to set up the resolutions in XF86Config, but it still ends
up
small, any explanation for why?
-->this is with debian 1.31
