well, to my best knowledge I did this, even copied literally the modelines from the SuSE-X-config file to my debian. On Suse with X 4.0.3, as I said, it returns properly, not on debian 4.1.0. > You will also find it helpful to play with the screen stretching feature on > your laptop when going to and from graphical to text console mode. I don't know what you mean, there are no stretching features on my laptop, at least not "hardwired" ones. All I can do is switch to external monitor and back. > > Alex > > BTW as a word of warning, some will say 'use framebuffer', I seriously > recommend against and only use it if you *really* need to.

(my LCD *is* 800x600, so the fb 640x480 VESA, which works, seems to be downscaled) Still hope for help. Where can I search for it? Thanks, Tobias.
