Both screen and video card manages 1600x1200. (works with winxp)
Whatever I try in screen configuration editor it says :
Sorry, this configuration video card driver
and monitor doesn't appear to work.

pkg-reconfigure  xserver-xorg does not work like it used to. No  
possibility to change video settings, only keyboard.

Any suggestions?

Which driver do you use, nv or nvidia? If you are not sure about this,
run

grep /drivers/ /var/log/Xorg.0.log

in an X terminal and post the output here.

  
grep /drivers/ /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nv_drv.so

It seems to be nv driver.
