Re: where'd my 1600x1200 go?
I will do the log thing later...cant kill X right now.
I have already killed all display managers as a matter of taste. I did this back when I still had full resolution, and it didnt affect anything AFAICT.
When I tried to go X in 1600x1200, It would think about it a second and spit me back to the console with a "no valid modes" or something similar. So no X at all.
FWIW, I am *really* enjoying Debian. fonts and such are better, and everything just works better than in RH, which I used since about 1995. :)
