Re-configure x
Greeting All
I have recently upgraded my computer hardware. When
doing the re-install of Etch. (I re-installed so I could take full
advantage of the 64 bit processor I bought, so I reloaded it
with the AMD64 variation of Debian; otherwise I would have
just used the existing 32 bit install, which I am sure would
have worked fine. Linux does a better job of this than the
OS produced in Redmond Wa.) The install doesn't prompt
for approval for the X driver it thinks it should install, it just
does it, even in expert mode. This actually doesn't bother
me, but I didn't get the resolution I had hoped for so I used
the last command I knew of to re-configure X:
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
It came back saying that " 'xserver-xfree86' is not installed
and no info is available." Well, apparently there has been a
change since the last time I used this command. I tried
scanning through Debian's online documentation but
had no luck in finding anything usefull.
** Does anyone know what command to use? **
My system is a 2.2ghz dual core AMD Opteron
with an onboard ATI Rage XL video. The monitor
is a Hann-G HG216D. The best resolution that
I can get currently is 1280 X 960 out of a monitor
and graphics combo that is capable of closer to
1680 X 1050. My screen is currently kind of grainy
and the whole setup is slow. So I don't think the
system is using the right driver.
Any useful comments will be appreciated.
