    Screen resolution stuck at 800x600

    As the title suggests, my screen resolution is stuck at 800x600.

    I have changed the XF86Config-4 file, so that now it reads like this...

    [QUOTE]Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "Generic Monitor"
    HorizSync 28-50
    VertRefresh 43-75
    Option "DPMS"
    EndSection

    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Default Screen"
    Device "ATI Technologies, Inc. Rage XL AGP 2X"
    Monitor "Generic Monitor"
    DefaultDepth 24
    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 1
    Modes "1024x760" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 4
    Modes "1024x760" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 8
    Modes "1024x760" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 15
    Modes "1024x760" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 16
    Modes "1024x760" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 24
    Modes "1024x760" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    EndSection

    And I have rebooted, however, I still cannot change the screen resolution so it is larger than 800x600....

    execute this command to configure display settings.
    Code:
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
