Hello,

I used a Canon projector hooked up to my Dell Inspiron 1501 yesterday, and now my screen resolution is bonkers. It's supposed to be 1280x800, but when I go to the Display menu, that option no longer appears...

Any idea as to what went wrong and how to fix it?

My xorg file:

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously
# in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings
# here are ignored.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Can you paste the output of the command "xrandr"?

Solved--reset my xorg.conf file. Worked fine.

Thanks anyways!
