Ah, it helped a little bit to change the refreshing rates to higher values. I got 1280x1024 now but I can't get wide screens resolutions. I installed 815resolution and made it run as it was recommended in rc.securelevel.

I did add 1280x800 in xorg.conf but I can't see it in xrandr either.

Before we go any further make sure that your HorzSync is 30-120
and VertRefresh 50-150. Then after you restart X server
o pen the shell:-)  Type  xrandr as  a normal user.  You will see the
list of available resolutions for the color  Depth used by your X server.
If 1280x800 is listed just type xrandr -s 1280x800 and you will get it.
If it is not listed means it is not available for your xorg.conf file and
possibly your hardware. You should read man pages for vesa driver (which I do not use) and xorg before playing further with xorg.conf file.

Any more ideas?

Thanks

    as in


    Section "Monitor"

          #DisplaySize      320   240     # mm
          Identifier   "Monitor0"
          VendorName   "DEL"
          ModelName    "DELL E773c"
    ### Comment all HorizSync and VertRefresh values to use DDC:
          HorizSync    30 - 70
          VertRefresh  50.0 - 120.0
          Option      "DPMS"
    EndSection


    You can use xrandr as well to play with the resolutions without
    the need to restart X server.

    Best,
    Predrag
