Hi Johannes, Thanks for your info - I did follow your guide and BINGO ! The screen now looks nice & sharp as it's drawing 1280x1024. I didn't know that it's X config related, as I thought it's GNOME issue - turns out GNOME is based on X stuffs - I'm completely newbie to Debian world, though 've been using Unix for longtime. Thanks ! Chan

You probably have to 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' if you haven't tried already. Log out as ordinary user, switch to a console like tty1 and log in as root before doing so. After reconfiguration you'd have to restart the xserver with '/etc/init.d/kdm restart' or gdm, or whatever your X display manager is. You do have xserver-xorg installed, don't you?
