Same here; I am rarely able to get the X configuration tools in a default Debian install to work satisfactorily. I have 1400x1050 working on my C600 with Sarge netinstall. I first had Ubuntu (5.04?) on it and the X configuration went well. Not so with the straight Debian (on second thought, it may be testing rather than Sarge; doesn't Sarge use Xfree and Etch Xorg?). But I copied the Ubuntu xorg.conf over from a nfs mounted backup and X now works well. I wonder how one might get the Knoppix/Ubuntu/etc X configuration tools installed in straight Debian? -- Willie, ONWARD!
