Hello,
Try the XF86Setup to configure your graphic card,
1- XF86Setup in the line commands
2- clik the card, and choose your card
3- clik monitor, you choose what your monitor is capable to do.
4- clik resolution, choose 3-4 resolutions
5- your keyboard (you car do that later)
6- downe
and you save the configuration.
you start by startx, and now you can choose what resolution is good
(normaly 800X600) by pressing 'Ctrl Alt +' or 'Ctrl Alt -', the + and -
are those in the keypad.
