Thanks Axalon.....I made the changes in XF86Config using the modeline from fbset.....but still it doesn't change anything. I think the problem is because startx is invoking XF86_SVGA server instead of XF86_FBDev server...or somehow XF86_SVGA server is the default server.....may be because I used svga during initial installation. How can I change the settings to run XF86_FBDev instead of XF86_SVGA? Do I have to make changes to the .config file, if so where is it located and what changes should I make?
