    How can I edit my screen res. after I already loaded X?



    Hello, I put on Debian Sarge today and I told it my screen res. but after I booted into Gnome it just gives me 800x600, I go into change the resoltution but it only has 800x600 and one lower (640x768 is it?), so how can I change my resoltution? My refresh rates are ok but I just need higher screen res. Thanks.

    If neccessary I guess I could remove X and start all over again..

    Oh and "xrandr -s 1024x768" will not work nor will "dpkg -reconfigure x"

    I don't really know of any other commands that would fix my problem..


    EDIT: "dpkg-reconfigure x-window-system" will not work.

    yea, that has never worked for me. Just add your desired resolutions to your
    Code:
    /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
    file

    I had this problem before this problem solved
    but I have another problem
    my favorite resolution is 1024*768
    I like it but HZ is 75
    how I can change HZ to 85
    with 85 HZ I will have good picture in 1024*768
    my monitor is HANSOL
