    Try this:
    Code:
    dpkg reconfigure x-window-system
    or, if you're not using the stable branch:
    Code:
    dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg

    Lightbulb xfree86?

    Maybe you use xfree86, not xorg, try this:

    Code:
    dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
    When u are asked about the resolution (Basic, Medium or Advanced mode) then... If you know the horizontal and vertical sync range of your monitor, choose Advanced. If not, choose Medium.

    For Advanced, write the range with a '-' in the middle, for example:
    Horizontal: 28-55
    Vertical: 50-120
    These are not your monitor's value, just an example. I dunno if urs is LCD or CRT.

    If u choose Medium, then choose just the best resolution u can handle (not forced resolutions, because linux won't take it and screen will go black). It will show it as: WIDTHxHEIGHT@RefreshRate

    If you need help ask, but I think I've over explained :P cya!

    What is your exact monitor model? Did you check out the manufacturer's site for the exact vertical and horizontal range? The optimal resolution?

    Did you fill out those in the
    Code:
    dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
    wizard?
