Cannot get 1366x768 screen above 1024x768, man xrandr inconsistancy
Hi, I have an emachine ET1300-02 computer, which came with emachine 1366x768 monitor. MCP61 motherboard with Nvidia GeForce G100 graphical chipset. When installing Debian 5 or 5.05, it come sup with a floating output not supported on the screen. By pressing ctrl+alt++ I can get to a visible screen, or by logging into single user mode I can edit xorg.conf to get to a default screen size of 1024x768, so screen is viewable on reboot. However, I cannot get above this resolution. This only happens with Debian, with the same hardware on OpenBSD, Fedora 12 or 13, Ubuntu 9.10 or 10.04, I can get correct resolution no problem. I have tried deleting completely the xorg.conf file, also have editied it using output from cvt to set: Modeline 1368x768_60.00 85.25 1368 1440 1576 1784 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync Also have added new modes 1368x768 1366x768 1368x768_60.00 to no effect. Command xrandr gives the output: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768 default connected 1024x7680.0 800x60061.0 640x48060.0 640x400 0.0 320x400 0.0 320x240 0.0 320x200 0.0 As root I run the script: su -c xrandr xrandr --newmode 1368x768 60 1368 1440 1576 1784 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode VGA 1368x768 xrandr --output VGA --preferred 1368x768 --fb 1368x768 --fbmm 1368x768 --mode 1368x768 xrandr --size 1368x768 #and all conceivable variations of the above If I type command xrandr again: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768 default connected 1024x7680.0 800x60061.0 640x48060.0 640x400 0.0 320x400 0.0 320x240 0.0 320x200 0.0 1368x768 (0x4e) 60.0MHz h: width 1368 start 1440 end 1576 total 1784 skew0 clock 33.6KHz v: height 768 start 771 end 781 total 798 clock 42.1Hz Somehow I am not able to get the maximum above 1024x768. Anyone have any ideas where I should be looking? By the way, xrandr manual page says: If invoked without any option, it will dump the state of the outputs, showing the existing modes for each of them, with a ’+’ after the preferred mode and a ’*’ after the current mode. As you can see from outputs above, there is no '+' or '*' when I use this command. Cheers, Brett. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Missing many packages and libraries
Hi all, I installed Debian a few days ago and had no trouble downloading extra packages using apt-get. Then I re-installed today, and hardly anything will work (Transmission did install). Any idea what is wrong? My updated sources.list file: deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.5 _Lenny_ - Official i386 CD Binary-1 20100626-17:37]/ lenny main deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/ main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/ main contrib non-free I ran apt-get update (as root), then tried installing many things, eg: debian:/home/brett# apt-get install mozilla-plugin-vlc Reading package lists...

Try with a sources.list that only has deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ lenny main deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main and nothing else.
