    Resolution Problems

    I've got a problem with my brand new install of Debian. I can't get the X Server to set the resolution properly. At first, I selected "Generic" at the install, later I changed it to i740 (which is the chipste my motherbord uses). I selected thet the Xserver sould use 1152x856@75hz, hut I'm still stuck at 640x480@84hz in gnome, and I can't change it using the Screen Resolution Tool, or whatever it's called... Anyone got any ideas how I can get this to work?

    check the
    Code:
    /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
    file and see if you resolutions are listed. If not try adding them.
    mine for example
    Code:
    SubSection "Display"
                Depth           24
                Modes           "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
