I have installed (successfully -- more or less) X Windows from the current stable Debian distribution on a fairly standard Pentium machine. For some reason, however, I am invariably getting the default 320x200 resolution with virtual also set to 320x200 no matter what I declare in the XF86Config file. I would very much appreciate any hint as to how to fix the problem. Enclosed please find the XF86Config file I am currently using. Thank you much in advance for your help.
