FWIW the monitor is a Dell 770 Horizontal scan range : 30 - 70 kHz (automatic) Vertical scan range : 50 - 160 Hz (automatic)I think for output devices that do not properly autoconfigure, you eithercontinue to use xorg.conf
I will try that. I was trying to learn to work with the "new" way.
or you use xrandr (in a script or something). xrandr 1.2 info: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=927 http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12
xrandr seems to use the faulty info from Hal and won't go above 800x600. Thanks, Paul
