Hi all,
i obtained the debian sarge dvd given with pcquest this month and tried to install it in my machine.during the installation besides the base system and the default packages i installed only the desktop environment. and installed the additional packages later.
now my problem is that when using either kde or gnome, my screen resolution does not go above 800x600@85Hz.
i have an asus nforce motherboard with geforce2 mx integrated gpu. in all the distro's i used till now(rh9 and suse 9.1 personal),my graphics card was correctly detected and after specifying the horizontal and vertical syns i got the proper resolutions for my display.
i tried to edit the XF86Config file in the following manner:
first, i replaced "Generic Video Card" in the section for screen with "GeForce2 Integrated GPU"(btw, my driver has been marked as 'nv',guess that's for nvidia),corrected my syncs in the section "monitor", and added "1024x768" in the subsections for display in all the colour depths. but it didnt work.
then, i visited the following link
*xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl
and obtained the modeline for my monitor. then i added the following lines in the file
a.added Modeline "1024x768@75" followed by the modeline value,in the "monitor" section after specifying the syncs.
b.added "1024x768@75" "1024x768" under the display subsections for all the colour depths.
but still no result
i dont know what to do.please help guys
