I remember that after installing the crt was in the 1024 x 768 mode (after a restart) I played with the "desktop effects" and switched those off again. After some time the crt switched spontaneously to 800 x 600 and in the menu only this mode and 640 x 480 was available. The "xresprobe install" solved the problem for some reason I don't understand. Till now I work in the 1024 x 768 mode without problems. I also tried to change the config but it looked if it didn't accept the changes. At the moment in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file shows my monitor type (daewoo 518X) so I'm satisfied
