I am able to create an XF86Config-4 file using debconf. It's tailored

small to read, and 2)
Edit your XF86config-4 file, look for lines like these (see below). Insert the
correct frequency settings for your monitor, and the resolutions you want.
BTW, if you specify more than one resolution, you can switch them on-the-run by
