Hi,
I have upgraded my kernel to 2.6.15.20 and the sound problem is solved.
But the video problem is partially solved. I ran dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xorg, it went through a series of dialogues, it selected by default
the 1280x800 mode, but when I rebooted the machine, it was still showing the
1024x768 mode. I looked into the xorg file, 1280x800 is in the list of
supported modes, but when I open the system->preferences->screenResolution,
it shows only 1024x768 as the highest one.
Can somebody tell me what am I missing?
Here is my xorg.conf file:
