I've (re)installed debian on one of my boxes last night, and whenever I
run X-windows in 1680x1050 mode, I can barely see anything on my screen.
I have to fall back to 1280x960 to get fonts readable, but I can't say
they're nearly as crisp as on on XP box (using that same screen).
Is there anything I can do to fix this? I've played with 'fonts' and
'resolutions', but I can't seem to fix it.
The monitor is E207WFP Dell
Fighting with x-windows system is just as fun as it was 11years ago.
Here's my xorg.conf, I had to create it by hand, as dpkg-reconfigure
method didn't actually seem to write the proper config.
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)

using

# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
