Brice, Unfortunately, installing the new driver didn't fix the problem. I'm attaching the Xorg.0.log file. The new driver does seem to be installed; I can see it in dselect. Thanks for all your help, Mike Brice Goglin wrote: Michael Vanier wrote: Brice, Thanks for the suggestion. Sorry to be a nuisance, but I've never upgraded to an experimental package before and I have no idea how to do it. I tried adding this line to my sources.list file: deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free (at the bottom) and then doing an apt-get update; that did nothing. I can't find the experimental version of the driver using dselect. I can't find any relevant online documentation on how to install experimental packages either. Can you give me some quick instructions? I wish the documentaion was more comprehensive. I am not sure that there is some real documentation for all this, since we mostly discourage people from using experimental without a good reason. Your sources.list should be good. But apt-get must be told explicitly to install something from experimental, it won't do it by default (or it could break your whole install).

Woo hoo! That did it. It also got rid of an annoying white line at the bottom of my screen that's been there forever. Thanks so much! I've donated $25 to the Debian project as a token of my gratitude. Cheers, Mike Brice Goglin wrote: Michael Vanier wrote: Brice, Unfortunately, installing the new driver didn't fix the problem.

Bug#449321: Cannot set screen resolution in xorg.conf using ATI driver
Package: x11-common Version: 1:7.3+3 I'm running debian unstable, and I upgraded to the latest debian unstable version of X, and now my preferred screen resolution (1152x768) is ignored in my xorg.conf file. I read some of the blog posts about how configuration has been simplified, and accordingly I stripped down my xorg.conf file to a minimal configuration. After hours of trial and error (trying every suggestion I found in the many related bug reports), I still cannot get X to recognize my preferred resolution -- it always sets it to the maximum resolution, and the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file states that there is no valid mode, so it picks the default (full resolution, 1680x1050). This is on a Dell Latitute D810 with an ATI x600 driver. I'm attaching my xorg.conf file and the log file.

You are using the old-style driver (6.6.193 from unstable). But the xorg.conf simplification that you're talking about targets RandR 1.2 drivers only. So you should upgrade xserver-xorg-video-ati to experimental (1:6.7.195-2). 6.6.193 is a dead-end anyway, all the work is done in 6.7.19x nowadays.
