Greeting All I have recently upgraded my computer hardware. When doing the re-install of Etch. (I re-installed so I could take full advantage of the 64 bit processor I bought, so I reloaded it with the AMD64 variation of Debian; otherwise I would have just used the existing 32 bit install, which I am sure would have worked fine. Linux does a better job of this than the OS produced in Redmond Wa.) The install doesn't prompt for approval for the X driver it thinks it should install, it just does it, even in expert mode. This actually doesn't bother me, but I didn't get the resolution I had hoped for so I used the last command I knew of to re-configure X:
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 It came back saying that " 'xserver-xfree86' is not installed and no info is available." Well, apparently there has been a change since the last time I used this command. I tried scanning through Debian's online documentation but had no luck in finding anything usefull. ** Does anyone know what command to use? ** My system is a 2.2ghz dual core AMD Opteron with an onboard ATI Rage XL video. The monitor is a Hann-G HG216D. The best resolution that I can get currently is 1280 X 960 out of a monitor and graphics combo that is capable of closer to 1680 X 1050. My screen is currently kind of grainy and the whole setup is slow. So I don't think the system is using the right driver. Any useful comments will be appreciated. -- Best Regards Walt L.
