Re: Need help with XF86 config

After I got the base system installed, I selected "Desktop Environment"

over to KDE and KDM, but the installer didn't set up my graphical config
right.
My Radeon 8500 graphics card and my Philips 107P monitor are detected
right, and I chose the resolutions I wanted to use during the config,
but both KDE and gnome defaulted to 800x600 @ 75Hz, and no higher
resolutions were available. I tried removing all other resolutions than
the 1280x1024 which I want to use, but I still get 800x600 and 1280x1024
is not even an option. I have all these other low resolutions available,
but where are they coming from and what command do I run to reconfigure
the graphics setup?
Thanks!
If you want an X interface, use Synaptic. Select xserver-xfree86 in the
package list, then Package -> Configure...
Choose the Advanced method for selecting your monitor's charactaristics
and you can use the technical specs from your monitor's manual.
Although, I found that the Simple or Medium methods produced a better
setup first time for my AOC monitor.
