Resolution problem (Newbie)
I think this is an easy question:
I installed the ATI drivers and after rebooting, my screen resolution went to
2048x768
I tried with KDE and Fluxbox, and it is the same (with different users). Also, in KDE that resolution is available anytime to be changed.
My etc/X11/xorg.conf is:
...
Section "Screen"
Identifier "ATI-Screen"
Device "ATI Graphics Adapter"
Monitor "ATI-Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0 # initial origin if mode is smaller than desktop
EndSubsection
EndSection
...
I don't have any other "Screen".
So, my quiestion is: In what other file(s) can I setup the default X resolution?
Thanks!

Sorry, but that didn't work. I think xorgconfig is for configure xorg.conf file. And so far as I know, my xorg.conf is correctly configured. Also, I tried xorgsetup and it crash. So I think there is something wrong with my X. So, I still have the problem.
Thank you fvs

Xrandr > Still with the problem...
I figure out that when I run "xrandr" command it display at the first line "2048x768". So X will take the first value as default. Any Idea how to remove that first value?

xorgconfig WILL work, 2048x768 value is set in /etc/X11/xorg.conf . Your xorg.conf is incorrect, use the suggestion posted by fvs.

Fixed
Hello, I check again my xorg.conf and I figured out that Vertical and Horizontal Sync were missing at "Monitor" Section. Before updating every was fine, I wonder why I didn't have it... So, finally my X enter on 1024x768
.
I still have one detail: If I enable SVGA for startup (so I can see the penguin) My monitor doesn't display anything during boot. but I think it is not related, right?
