    I am getting the same problem. Getting just 640X480 (I posted earlier to
    this maillist saying 800x600 sorry I was wrong)

    I am attaching the logfile herewith after doing the following:

    X > logfile 2>&1 &
            sleep 10

    My monitor is Dell 773S. I also tried with Samsung Syncmaster 793s.
    Video card is: Intel 82865G

    I also did this as someone suggested:

    >Make sure that you have `discover' installed (apt-get install
    >discover) then try and reconfigure the server again with low priority.

    >dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xfree86

    Still same resolution!

    Please help

    Thanks and Regards;
    Rituraj

    Make sure that you have `discover' installed (apt-get install
    discover) then try and reconfigure the server again with low priority.

    dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xfree86

    Try the above, and if it doesn't help, report back to the list with
    details including:

    - the version of Debian you are installing
    - your video card

    > Who has a perfect X server configuration for me??

    Depends on the above.

    Cheers,

    Nick.
