    Have you tried reconfiguring your xserver with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from the command line, as root user?

    Thanks for reply.I tried this but Now I am not sure what resolution I should use.cause I already used 1280x800 but it didn't work.My laptop is HP pavilion 6568 se.Next semester I have linux programming in my school.I used Acer travelmate 2420 before but that didn't make any problem.I don't underestand what to do.I opened xorg.conf file using command promt but have no idea what should I change.i am Really in a big problem.

    from /etc/X11/xorg.conf file you can change resolution manually, and then try
    Code:
    startx
    command for X environment. In xorg.conf file you have to edit Section "Screen" part.

    Execute startx command and if it doesn't work, execute this
    Code:
    lspci | grep VGA
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver
    Post output here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
