    Debian 6.0.0 amd64, two issues

    Hi, I installed Debian 6.0.0 amd64 on my PC and everything works fine but I have two issues:

    The first one is me screen resolution, it goes from 1280x1024 to 1600x1200 but I would like something in between, I know there's a way to add resolution in the xorg.config somehow just don't know the details.

    the second issue is something with iceweasel, if I go to jigidi.com to play jigsaw puzzles online all the puzzle pieces are black, it's probably a extension or something that's missing. But it does the same in Chromium and galeon browsers.

    thanks,
    Bert

    With regards to the iceweasel problem do you have flashplugin-nonfree installed ?

    Code:
    apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

    first off, use xrandr command to see what it thinks are supported resolutions for your monitor, you shouldn't need to edit xorg.conf file anymore

    what is your graphics card? make sure if its ATI or nvidia that you have installed appropriate driver

    for iceweasel, what type of game is it? it could be related to graphic driver problem, check to see if you have latest sun java and plugin installed too
