That gave the same result (maximum 800x600), but interestingly the new mouse seemed to work OK. I then did sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and again ended up with 800x600, even though the config file says SubSection "Display" Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection The monitor seemed to be detected fine and the config program allowed me to set 1280x1024 as one of the resolutions 800x600 is the maximum option shown in the system > preferences > screen resolution window. Now what? </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> I would look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Is the right config file used? Is the right driver loaded? There should be something in that file which will tell you what you can try as a next step. Aart </pre> </blockquote> I had the same basic problem. There is more than one place in xorg.conf that the resolution is listed. I don't remember what I changed but make sure every instance is the configuration you want. If you are using an Nvidia graphics card with the restricted driver you should have a program called Nvidia Settings in usr/bin that may also do what you want. Mike </body> </html>
