Installed Squeeze on my laptop and hooked up an external monitor, worked fine for few days and after a reboot yesterday, there is not output to the external monitor. it's got a message on the screen saying to use optimal resolution 1280 x 1024 60Hz.
laptop has an nvidia Gforce 7400 GPU That's how it's setup. Never has this issue before. I am using the default video driver installed by Debian. I think it's nouveau. I tried to check the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. But it's not there. Why is there no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, then what configuration file is the X using? Is Debian using nouveau, how to check what driver is being used? I tried to reconfigure X by following the instructions from http://wiki.debian.org/Xorg?action=show&redirect=ConfigureX steps: - Switch to a *console* as root (*not* a terminal emulator in X), then run: - /etc/init.d/gdm3 stop - cd /etc/X11/ - Xorg -configure this process created a /root/xorg.conf file. is it supposed to be at that location? This did not resolve the issue. Any suggestions? -- Kind regards, Yudi
