If it's a _real_ Cirrus Logic 5446, then it may only have something like 2 or 4MB of memory and so Debian configures it conservatively. If you can change the colour depth, do so to try. 8 bit rather than 16 bit may allow you to have a higher res. Kill any running X (killall gdm / killall kdm may help here). Xorg -configure as root may help. X writes a new xorg config file - /root/xorg.conf.new by default - and you can run X with X -config /root/xorg.conf.new If you get the X cursor on a grey background, you've got a working configuration. Look at that first. It may be appropriate to just cp/mv /root/xorg.conf.new directly to /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you're happy. Hope this helps, AndyC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
