X64 RC1 resolution problem solved

[alan2273]

I am using a 17" LG1720B monitor with an analog connection, the graphics card is a Nvidia 7600Gt.
I cannot get above 800x600, despite editing the xorg.conf file.
Here is the file, what am I missing.

# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder58) Thu Jul 17 18:39:00 PDT 2008

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by failsafeDexconf, using
# values from the debconf database and some overrides to use vesa mode.
#
# You should use dexconf or another such tool for creating a "real" xorg.conf
# For example:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

There is something seriously wrong with that xorg.conf
Only one monitor but two Section Device and you are using the "vesa" driver
It should look something like this

Code: Select all

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Thanks for that Husse, I have just edited xorg.conf and everthing is OK now.
I never noticed the duplicated section device.
