screen problems

#1 Post by jordan »

I just installed debian and kde, and everything looks great on startup. The resolution is 800x600. My laptop screen is 1024x768 and I have an ATI Mobility 7500 video card.

When I switch to 1024x768 the screen wraps around horizontally (the same things such as the menu and clock will appear on both sides of my screen) and my mouse turns into a fuzzy square.

I tried to edit XF86Config-4 to use the Radeon driver, but I was denied access to the file.

Thanks for your help.

You need to be root to edit 'XF86Config-4'.
