I have a cheap flat screen monitor on one of my computers. I works nicely, but not perfectly with Lenny. But in a much inferior way when I switch to Squeeze. In particular: The screen is 1366x768 according to the user manual that came with it. Under Lenny, X chooses to run it at 1280x768 which is OK, but Under Squeeze, X chooses 1024x768 which makes things that should be circle into broad elipses. And wastes a lot of the resolution on over-size characters. I would like to try composing some configuration lines and inserting them in a conf file, xorg.conf, I think, but I'm not sure. Some quidance would be greatly appreciated. -- Paul E Condon pecon...@mesanetworks.net ---------------------------------------- Hi Paul: I read thru the install log from xorg & it looks like everything is doing as it should. I am wondering if this new flat screen is a letterbox shaped screen or a standard shaped screen. I suspect this is an "aspect ratio" issue rather than a "screen resolution" issue though it may be a combination of both. I have little experience with the letterbox screens but I am planing to buy one soon & am studying the list & other tings for compatibility as I do not want to incur this type of issue. Please post your solution when you get it going correctly. Best wishes! -- John Foster -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
