My eyes! Resolution stuck at 640x480 (yes I've altered xorg.conf..)

[JVincent08]

I just moved to Debian coming from Fedora, and I've had this problem before. But on Fedora, I only had to add the mode line in xorg.conf. It doesn't seem to make a difference in Debian. Here's my xorg.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"

EndSubSection

I've tried running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" but it didn't help. I'm hoping that it guessed my horizontal and vertical refresh rates right, though, because my monitor (KDS Radius S-3F) is no longer being made, and the manufacturer's website doesn't tell me any technical details. But I do know that its refresh rate is 60Hz, I just don't know about the "HorizSync" option.

Any ideas?

You have two devices listed, I think that may be causing some conflict for you.

Section "Device"
Identifier "Onboard Intel"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "GeForce 7100 GS"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "GeForce 7100 GS"
EndSection

I'd remove the intel/vesa section or at least comment it out and then restart the X server to see if that works for you.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried commenting out (and removing) the intel device lines, but I still have the same issue. I also tried using the vesa driver for the 7100 GS, and still the same.
