That it is. Thanks :-)

Ops, it seems your xorg server is using the VESA driver, that looks no 
good to me (VESA driver is the most basic video driver available). OTOH, 
that matches with the bug report :-(

If you still feel vigorous enough to play again with your "/etc/X11/
xorg.conf" file I can give you another hint: force the load of SiS driver.

Again, you'll have to create the file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" and put in 
there:

***
Section "Device"
 Driver "sis671"
EndSection
***

And restart.

If that does not work, you can also try with this:

***
Section "Device"
 Driver "sis"
EndSection
***

I dunno what would be the appropiate driver for Debian ("sis" or 
"sis671"), so try first with one and then with the other O:-)

By doing this, we are trying to force Xorg server to load a more advanced/
suitable VGA driver for your card chipset in the hope the new driver can 
allow you to choose another resolution (1024x768).

Don't forget to attach the new logs (pastebin) for each change you make 
in your "xorg.conf" file, so we can verify if the new configuration has 
been correctly applied.
