You need to install drivers if it is a Ati/Nvidia card.

Thanks for express response.
No,it's onboard graphics..Pc linux was working fine some time ago...What could be the problem?

 

[ray|raven]

Which onboard gfx?
Intel?Nvidia?Ati?Unichrome?

AFAIK only intel/unichrome cards work with no need for any driver config.
Ati and Nvidia need drivers to be installed.

Also , post ur xorg.conf.
It can found at : /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Please note that you need to use sudo to view it.

Run this in a terminal.

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

u have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and in Device "screen" u have to add those options.BTW,it is 800x600 not the other way!
