i don't know what anyone else is going to reply..but, 1. run xf86config...you know everything works, and xf86config is a bit more detailed. you can pick and choose the things that you want. 2. your video card just may not be able to handle what you want.

PROBLEM: When I startx I can either get 640x480 or 1280x1024...nothing in between! When I ctrl/alt/+/- I get a black screen for any resolution other than 1280x1024. I have tried many different options and suggestions gleaned from the internet, but so far...no success. All I want is to run X at 800x600 hi-colour. Please help!
