Hi,

I just installed Debian using DVD set from CheapBytes
into a new HP Pavilion Slimline s3020n desktop. It has
Nvidia GeForce 6150LE graphics adaptor driving 1280x1024
resolution.

Thrying to increase the screen resolution using the Screen
resoultion preference tool, however, I cannot find any extra
resolution option in the menu - only the basic resolution of
640x480 is available. The Samsung 19inch LCD screen can
display 1280x1024 - how can I increase it ?

I don't know what your 'Screen resolution preference tool' is. You
probably have to 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' if you haven't tried
already. Log out as ordinary user, switch to a console like tty1 and log
in as root before doing so. After reconfiguration you'd have to restart
the xserver with '/etc/init.d/kdm restart' or gdm, or whatever your X
display manager is.

You do have xserver-xorg installed, don't you?
