I have just installed sid on a Portege 4010 that I just acquired. I used
the very latest lenny network installer. I installed all packages beyond
the base install at my control with aptitude.
The whole screen isn't being used. It looks like it is using 800x600 out
of the available 1024x768. The xorg.conf has basically *no* video
infcrmation. sudo dpkg-reconfigure -p<low|medium|high> gives no opportunity
to detect or choose the video card or monitor.
That should be 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
It was. (many times)
I have googled for quite a while and not found how to get control of this
process. Possibly I am missing an xorg related package. I didn't install
xorg just every other xorg related package that looked necessary. Icewm is
running just fine.
Please post the output of 'lspci | grep VGA'
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade XPAi1
(rev 82)
and
'dpkg -l *xorg* | grep ii' to see if anything is missing.
