Thanks! Could you post your x config? Two things I would suggest checking is your monitor and screen sections. Not for a quick run down of these parts of the config files.... Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" <-- this is the screen name Device "Card0" <-- card it uses Monitor "Monitor0" <-- monitor it uses DefaultDepth 24 <-- defualt depth SubSection "Display" Depth 1 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 4 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" "640x400" "512x384" "400x300" "320x240" "320x200" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 15 Modes "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" "640x400" "512x384" "400x300" "320x240" "320x200" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" "640x400" "512x384" "400x300" "320x240" "320x200" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" "640x400" "512x384" "400x300" "320x240" "320x200" EndSubSection EndSection In it you will see the subsections labled Display. These will contain two sets of variables; depth and mode. The mode contians resolutions for that depth. You will need to make sure the resolution you want is in the depth you want. The defualt depth should be clearly noticeable above there. Now for the monitor section... Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Monitor Model" HorizSync 31.5 - 82.0 VertRefresh 60.0 - 90.0 EndSection IIRC comment HorixSync and VertRefresh will cause it to defualt to DPMS, which should be supported on all newer monitors, but if it is not, this needs to be set manually. I suggest using the xorgcfg -textmode for that... atleast I use that since I never remember what would be sane for horizsync... man xorg.conf should provide more info :)
