Re: Screen resolution

everything appears very big.
Is there a way to check up the real performed resolution?
And a way to make it be what it should?
When I run 'dpkg-reconfigure -pmedium xserver-xfree86',
the resolution displayed is never what I put: 1024×768.
I have Sarge 3.1 stable.

Thanks.
Both the utilities seem to agree upon a screen size
much smaller than it actually is:
in fact, 'xrandr' produces the following output:

SZ: Pixels Physical Refresh
*0 800 x 600 ( 203mm x 152mm ) *73
1 640 x 480 ( 203mm x 152mm ) 73
Current rotation - normal
Current reflection - none
Rotations possible - normal
Reflections possible - none


, and 'xdpyinfo':

screen #0:
dimensions: 800x600 pixels (203x152 millimeters)
resolution: 100x100 dots per inch
depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32
root window id: 0x3a
depth of root window: 24 planes
number of colormaps: minimum 1, maximum 1
default colormap: 0x20
default number of colormap cells: 256

, whereas the screen is actually about 305×230 millimeters.
Any idea how to adjust this?

Thanks,
Rodolfo
