Re: New installation - cannot increase the screen resolution
Hi Johannes,
Thanks for your info - I did follow your guide and BINGO !
The screen now looks nice & sharp as it's drawing 1280x1024.
I didn't know that it's X config related, as I thought it's GNOME
issue - turns out GNOME is based on X stuffs - I'm completely
newbie to Debian world, though 've been using Unix for longtime.
Thanks !
Chan

I don't know what your 'Screen resolution preference tool' is. You
probably have to 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' if you haven't tried
already. Log out as ordinary user, switch to a console like tty1 and log
in as root before doing so. After reconfiguration you'd have to restart
the xserver with '/etc/init.d/kdm restart' or gdm, or whatever your X
display manager is.
You do have xserver-xorg installed, don't you?
