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.
