Okay, so you want to get 1024x768, right?
This is very nice.
800x600 is maybe OK in normal use.
I get sizing problems on my internet banking site with the smaller
resolution
I do not have the know how to implement your suggestions. I only can use
the OS's as is.
I do appreciate your assistance
I cannot guarantee your card can get your desired resolution under
Debian, there seem to be some problems with xorg-sis drivers, but we at
least can try some tweaks :-)
Are you using lenny, squeeze, sid...?
Anyway, you can create a "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" file (if there is one
already present just make a backup first -by renaming the file to
something like "xorg.conf.old"-, never work on the original file without
having done a copy first so in the event something goes wrong you can
easily restore the original file).
And there you can put:
***
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
DisplaySize 271 203
End Section
***
(that is the size openSUSE 11.3 detected)
Save the "xorg.conf" file and restart the system (the fastest way in this
case to test the new configuration). And cross your fingers :-P
