 Settting maximum screen resolution I am running a new test release of Debian to get support for my Silicon Image SATA chipset. This has configured my system so that the maximum screen resolution I can set is 800x600. My hardware supports up to 1600x1200. How to I configure my system to get some more pixels on the screen? Does XF86Setup still exist? if so where might I find it? -- Michael Chare      |

You should've been given the chance to set this up when X was installed. If you missed it you can go through it again with: # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 An alternative is to edit the modes lines in the screen section of your XF86Config-4 file: Modes "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" -- Andy. |

I didn't have a Debian box with X installed booted at the time. :-) For reference and off the top of my head I think it's in /etc/X11. You might have XF86Config instead of XF86Config-4. -- Andy. |
