The only way I know to approach a problem like this is to get the system
to a known state, and then proceed with a step-by-step analysis to reduce
the number of variables, and isolate the problem. I would suggest
something like the following:

How old is your version of Debian? Did you install the XF86_SVGA from a
debian package or compile it from source?

Um, I've got only good to say for the xserver that nvidia has released,
which your video card might like. I hear diamond viper so I'm guessing
a tnt chip. Beyond that, you really should have the specs of your
monitor handy, as that has always for me been the part that needed the

Thank you for the information. However, I have tried to make sense out of
the information and still can not get anything better than 320x200
resolution.
What does SuperProbe say about your video card??

I have been trying all day to get XFree86 3.3.2.3 running, but have simply
had no luck getting any resolution other than 320x200. I would like it to
do 800x600 with 256 (or more) colors. The video card does that just fine
