When I had this problem it was because my monitor was not being auto detected, so X wasn't able to match resolutions to the monitors capabilities. It falls back on 800x600 and 640x480 as they are unlikely to overtax the monitor. What are the contents of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? I'm guessing there isn't much in there in which case you might have to explicitly list the HorizSync and VertRefresh of you monitor. gc > My other smaller > problem is that my Evolution Mail will not let me do a set up, it wants to > be backed up from a location.
