    Exclamation screen resolution in Debian

    I recently installed Debian and the screen resolution is HUGE! I cannot find a way to change it, because there are no options available within the Preferences. Can someone please help? I'm an huber-newbie, so you need to spell things out COMPLETELY. Thanks!

    Hi and Welcome !

    Open Terminal and execute this
    Code:
    su -
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
    Reconfigure display settings and reboot machine.

    In case it doesn't work, execute this
    Code:
    su -
lspci | grep -i vga
grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Post output here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
