Looks like it's because for some reason you are using the vesa driver..

What card do you have?

If you feel brave you can force it by removing all the "800x600" entries. I had the same problem until I installed the right drivers for my card.. so have a go at finding out why it seems to be an unsupported device.

i think it is integrated intel graphics. i have already tried to force a higher res by removing 640x480 and that didnt work. so i will try configuring x it will a different driver. which one should i use?

Usually integrated intel are happy with the i810 series drivers.. Odd it didn't find them when it installed..

Try dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and see if it picks it up..

You could have a go at changing the driver from "vesa" to "i810" which might be all that is needed... if it breaks then the above command in single user mode will recover it.

you may have to run lspci -v to find the chipset and work from there on the debian or LQ forums.

TBH.. what I tend to do is run puppy and then look at the working xorg files to see which modules are loaded.. doesn't always help but does give me clues where to start looking.

thanks, i have already tried dpkg x. i will try changing the driver, and if it doesnt work it is not that important. this is going to be a server so i will install vnc and configure it from different computer. i beleive i can set the resolution higher in a vnc client.

Did you do the server install.. that could explain lots as it doesn't come with modules for graphics.. because the vesa driver is fine for a terminal display..

I don't install desktop managers on servers.. it's as easy to use the console if you need to tweak them ;)

i installed server software along with the desktop and standard system. if i knew what i was doing i would have just used the terminal but im still a newbie.

Which debian is it.. I can point you in the right direction for what you need to know about servers.

Step 1. lspci -v

lets see what hardware we are dealing with ;)

i am running etch. i would like to set it up as a print/file/web server. it will be used mostly on my home network and i want to experiment with making my own website. i took a class last year in web design and now i have a server so maby i could actually make one. anyway here is the output from that command.

theres the baby...

http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-boot@...g/msg85171.html

and confirmed here ;)

http://www.sfr-fresh.com/linux/docs/HOWT.../Hardware-HOWTO

so set default to 1024x768 @ 16 with the "mga" driver and it should be good to go... Odd that my old p3 with matrox hardware used the i810 driver tho.. that's dell for ya ;)

as for server setup http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_etch

with reservations.. poor Falko doesn't seem to be in quite the same reality as us.. when what you see strays from what he saw you will have to be ready to hunt for the fix, or work it out.. I love that random aspect XD

A real server will need bastille and tripwire before you let it out in the wild.

No worries.. I run etch too, and it can be a total pig ;)
XFCE or fluxbox with rox makes a great light server GUI.. simple and clean.. and will run as root without too many problems unlike gnome or kde.

it is actually do very well with gnome. i was going to install xfce but then i just decided to go with the default because i had 1gb of ram and it would be fine. so far i have only seen it use around 25% memory max. i have finally gotten tightvnc up and running and i can connect on my home network by using the host name. but when i type in its ip address i fails to connect. what can i do about that?

Don't know about tightvnc.. usually the address for the server is <username>@ IP (or hostname) when it will ask for a password for <user>
Also it may be pretty tight on allowed hosts/ip's which it will accept a connection from.. investigate the hosts file. (ifconfig/hosts?)

The vnc server needs to be running at startup.. if it's remote you need an automated way to log the vnc user <user@server> in as it starts (rcS.d/modules) with a pointer to a vnc-user login script.. otherwise you need to log that user in on the server and then start vnc from there.

Bleh!!.. I know what I mean. Creakster.. can you word it better than that?

Does the printer work from the server?

If it does you will probably find it at <printer>@IP.. though I never used that kind of setup for network printers because I never have used them networked with windows unless they were running off a local windows machine.

myip.. either the ip of the server.. or 127.0.0.1 (localhost).. use whatever works.. all networks are different.

You haven't read that page yet.. It took me more than 5 minutes to soak it up ;)
