Took your advise and attempted to reconfig by running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg outside of the desktop environment (ctrl alt F1). It stalled at the second screen but I managed to escape out (3 attempts).What do you mean by stalled? Anyway, you have to restart Xorg for any changes to be applied, so it might help if you do it with Xorg shut down. If that doesn't work you can still edit xorg.conf by hand or run 'dexconf' to generate a new (and hopefully better) one. dpkg-reconfigure is generally better for upgrades, especially with a standard setup like yours.From your xorg.conf:Section "Device" Identifier "Generic Video Card" Driver "vesa"^^^^ This is not a problem, but "nv" might be better.BusID "PCI:1:5:0"You don't need to specify this, it will be autodetected. You can just comment it out or leave blank when prompted by debconf.EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Generic Monitor" Option "DPMS" HorizSync 28-64 VertRefresh 43-60^^ This looks like your problem. You already have the correct values to put here ;) Regards, Andrei
