If everything else seems ok, then check the amount of videoram extracted from your Xserver logs. Bios on Dell machines are notorious for giving only 1mb which is a bit tight for resolutions higher than 640x480. A Xserver patch is available to steal mem from the bios. I seem to have lost the link. If you have this bios problem, look up the archives, i had posted the link on some intel 830 or 845 thread -- I thought it was an optical illusion, but it just looked like one. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
