Re: Screen resolution problem / unstable
Hi, I daren't go to the KDE desktop settings here as it will go directly to 800 x 600 max .. grin Meanwhile though I have an Athlon 64 3000, 1Gb ram, and a Siluro GF4 MX-8X E-Bios V4.18.20.15.0 (c)1996-2000 Nvidia 64Mb Card. Oddly I havent had this problem before, but whether that is due to Fedora and SuSe being more plug and play .. I have considered maybe downloading the NVidia bios update util, but I know that if I do that and update the kernel I need to get the source code and re-patch the kernel. My only other thought (bearing in mind I am a newbie at Debian) is maybe there is some tweaking I can do in the X server config? I appreciate your help.

Do you have full resolution when X first starts and it only goes away when you open the KDE settings window? If so, that seems more likely to be a KDE bug (which I apologize that I am mostly unfamiliar with and cannot help with any further :-(). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Screen resolution problem / unstable
Hi All, I am new to Debian (previously SuSE and Fedora user :()and have set Debian up on my AMD-64 - 1Gb ram - N-Vidia video card - and HP 1024*768 res LCD display. Where my screen resolution has always been stable under SuSE or Fedora, it doesnt appear to be with Debian. I set the system up with the NV driver, and took the installers advice to not use autodetect for the screen, and defined it as 1024*768. So far all well and good, but if I then load up the display setting in KDE the highest resolution offered is 800*600, and from that point onwards I cannot again access the 1024*768 screen size. Is there a workaround, or is there something I have missed in my setup? I would welcome any input.
