Problem with X after upgrade

**bidi** · 06-03-2006

I just did an upgrade of Debian Testing today and ran into a problems. First of all, let me say that after doing some looking around the X-server was upgrade from 6.8 (or 6.9, can't remember which one) to 7.0.

Anyway, the problem is that I'm stuck in 800x600 resolution, even though this resolution is not even mentioned on my mode settings. This is what my xorg.conf currently looks like:

Code:

Section "Files"
	FontPath	"unix/:7100"			# local font server
	# if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these
	FontPath	"/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"

Fairly simple (as far as I can tell)! When start X it chokes for a few seconds and then goes into 800x600 mode (I'm guessing it can't go into the other two, but why I don't know). i've search the subject, but it seems like all the "solutions" I found are for different problems.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

After all this time, I still don't know how to delete a thread... In that case, I'm just going to say that I was able to fix the problem in the strangest manner I've ever fixed anything else. What I did was change the Monitor section's to this:

Code:

    Identifier     "Generic Monitor"
    HorizSync       28.0 - 60.0
    VertRefresh     43.0 - 72.0
    ModeLine       "ATSC-720-72p" 74.25 1280 1320 1376 1648 720 722 728 750
