But, you don't even need to try this old config file. It is sure that you won't get 1024x768 since there is only 800x600 and 640x480 in the mode list: DefaultDepth24 [...] SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection What I would like you to do, is: 1) save your XF86Config-4 file 2) remove it so that there is no /etc/X11/XF86Config (or XF86Config-4) 3) run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. It will ask you some questions again and generate a new config file. This is the one I want you to try. Again, you can only get one of the resolutions that are listed after "Mode" according to your screen depth (16bits currently, 24bits in your old file). If you don't get 1024x768 again, please send me this new config file that dpkg-reconfigure generated, in case it is different from the old one. By the way, I don't think you need any HorizSync or VertRefresh on a laptop LCD screen. If dpkg-reconfigure ask you whether it should generate those lines, you should say "no". I even think I saw dpkg-reconfigure telling me that these lines was not required on a laptop. But, I don't remember whether it was with a Debian Sarge or not. > Bruce - I feel like I'm operating in a vacuum, with little contact > with others > running Sarge.

If you want to talk to other people running Debian, there are plenty of IRC channels, for instance #debian. But it is much more a media I would use to ask some questions, not really to learn lots of things and meet people. debian-user@lists.debian.org might help too. Or better, look for something like a LUG (Linux User Group) in your neighborhood. Good luck. Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Hi Bruce, I'll attach the original XF86Config-4 file from the initial installation and the revised file I'm now using. When I get some time ( probably later today ) I'll try reverting to the old , as you suggest, just to see if I get the small screen size. Bruce - I feel like I'm operating in a vacuum, with little contact with others running Sarge. I have a little Unix and C++ experience. Do you know of a suitable source of information where I can find others like myself? Paul If you could send us the difference between your config file and the one generated by the installer, that would be great yes. Also, if you could save your config file and run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and see if you still get the same (broken) config, it'd ge great too. And you had a chance to try Xorg 7.1 currently un testing, there might be more chance your bug is resolved :) Thanks, Brice - Check out the all-new Yahoo!

Hi Bruce, Thanks for the inquiry. I modified XF86Config-4 by using some help I got from Linux-on-laptops.com. I saved a copy of the original file generated by the installer, if you'd like to see it. The problem actually occurred with a Sarge installation. I'm running Sarge exclusively now and have been for about six months with no problems. I never been able to get either of two HP printers to print anything other than simple text, however.
