So I'll share it here in case someone else has the same problem. The problem is that xorg.conf generated by "X -configure" actually makes the laptop's pointing device(trackball) stop working. So I eliminate the line Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" from xorg.conf, then there is no more problem with the trackball. Then I can just add the line Modes "1024x768" to xorg.conf beneath every line of Depth... Now the screen problem is solved! Next problem: it has no sound. It seems like no sound card is detected at all. Any help is appreciated. --aghv ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
