A dist-upgrade resulted in a problem:

F9.

My system is Debian Squeeze. Yesterday (16 Jun 10) I ran apt-get update
and apt-get dist-upgrade. The system was shutdown overnight. When
rebooted this morning the X window was at F9 and the resolution 640x480.
I ran startupmanager which reported the resolution to be 1600x1200 but
the system remained stuck in the 640x480 mode.

Anyone else encountering this problem? Is there another way to change
the resolution?

Try using aptitude, it is smarter than apt-get.

aptitude tried harder but could not solve the problem.
