    Question Resolution problems

    I just installed vector linux that is based on slackware, the vid card is a ati rage 128 ultra agp, processer celeron400. I tried running xorgconfig or watever and when i load X back up its like i never did anything. when i look under display or something the only listed resolutions i can have are 640x480 and 320xsomething. Why can't i switch to at least 800x600? I don't understand! I looked at xorg.conf and it lists 800x600 and 1024x768 but X doesn't give me the option of using them. plz help

    Try harder, you should have a full xorg.conf afterwards, complete with VertRefresh/HorizSync values which _you_ enter during the xorgconfig.
