Hi, Thanks for the response! I am able to create an XF86Config-4 file using debconf. It's tailored to my system's specs, and X is functional. The problem is that it's driving my monitor at a resolution that 1) renders everything too small to read, and 2) that AFAIK, is outstide my monitor's capabilities. I would expect that my monitor would display some kind of "out of range" message, but it doesn't. My manual specifies that it is capable of 1280x1024, however X is driving it at a much higher resolution. Also, I beleive that I have only verion 4 files on board because I installed X after upgrading from potato. I could be wrong about that though. I'm not sure where else to look. I've hunted down and renamed all my XF86Config* files with the exception of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. I just don't understand where it's pulling the resolution setting it's using from. If anyone thinks of anything else...please share ;-) TIA! -- Mark Wagnon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
