1 Your xorg.conf file looks fine, but you don't have anything lower than
2 1024x768 specified in your configuration as indicated below. You may have
3 to recreate a new xorg.conf file with the correct monitor and driver
4 settings. I did mine manually a long long time ago, but I think you can use
5 xorgconfig to detect most of your settings for you...if so...hopefully that
6 will fix you up.
