Hi Tim,
I am running Debian testing with XFCE desktop. I am guessing that I
need to reconfigure X but I don't know the correct command, can
somebody please advise??
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch07.en.html#_the_re_configuration_of_the_x_server
explains how to have the packing system re-step through the initial
configuration it did on installation using dpkg-reconfigure(8). Maybe
that will fix it.
Cheers, Ralph.

I have already tried those suggestion earlier, I tired them while
logged in as normal in a terminal window and then by dropping to run
level 1 and trying from the command line. Of the three dpkg commands
only one gives a response and that was dpkg-reconfigure --prority=low
x11-common which just ask me who it should let startx both the other
two just return me to the cli within a second with no errors or anything.
I have tried starting from a previous (older) kernel (I only have two
installed) but that made no difference.

After a bit of googling last night I re-ran the sgfxi script and this
time I caught the error on screen, it was was complaining about being in
run level 1 which was what the instructions had asked for. So I reran
the script a third time but in normal run level and it went through OK
and I now have full screen resolution available.
