No problem ;) > I seem to have understood that I need > xserver-svga_3.3.***.deb Could you please explain me, why you think so? The xserver-svga packages use an old version of the xserver which is obsolete (even in Debian 3.0 "woody"). They are obselete today, and where replaced by xserver-xfree86 (which you allready have installed). xserver-svga is XFree86 3.3.6, xserver-xfree86 is XFree86 4.0. The only reason the old packages still exist is, that the XFree86 project dropped some graphic chips with the 4.0 release (e.g. for some old notebooks). So it is possible, that you need the old driver, but I it's quite unlikely, since I thought you allready have a working X, and you just want to set a higher resolution. So, could you please tell me, what goes wrong when you try to run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" as root, what graphics card you have (if you don't know run lspci and look for the line mentioning a vga controller). > and I say > apt-get install xserver-svga_3.3.**.deb No. As I mentioned I don't think that you need that package, and second if you install a package with apt-get you just need the name of the package (here: xserver-svg), not the entire filename. Yours sincerely, Alexander
