sudo will work only if properly configured which is not done by default on Debian. I think the simplest way would be to login as root (from the console) and try again. Also from your explanation it seems to me that you rather have a monitor configuration issue. Make sure you choose the right sync values for your monitor. >> PS: When replying, please use reply-to-all, so that your mail reaches >> a wider audience and you are more likely to get a solution.

Probably shows my age. As long as you provide enough details we will be able to help. If the dpkg-reconfigure doesn't work please provide output of lspci -v | grep VGA Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. (Albert Einstein)
