You are correct. The debconf templates do not have values for the resolution. > But the screen resolution is automagically configured to a > resolution lesser than the maximum resolution supported. How do you know that a larger resolution is supported? Perhaps the combination worked in the past but is unstable with the new xserver and could crash and/or damage the equipment. :-| > Are there any ways to overcome this? Yes. Create your own /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and install it. All the tweaking of the configuration that was possible in the past is still possible. :-) This file can be created in many ways. As mentioned earlier, there is also a backup copy of this file when systems are upgraded. Best of luck, Kapil. -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
