I can't seem to change my resolution to a big enough value on my Jaunty. I'm running it on my T61 Lenovo laptop, and my maxium resolution is 1280x800 which is not near good enough for me.
I want to try a bigger resolution, and everywhere I read said 'edit xorg.conf'. However, my xorg.conf file has nothing like a resolution in there:
# 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
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
Incidentally, I tried running the dpkg-reconfigure recommended in the file, but got a 'package xserver-org is not installed' error, which seems pretty strange.
Any idea on what I should do?
