I'd like to increase the resolution up to 1600x1200 with a higher
refresh rate as well if possible. My monitor can take it, but my
xorg.conf file no longer seems to have the section wherein one can tweak
those settings.
I am using an Nvidia GeForce 8500GT card on a Lenny machine.
How would I go about increasing the resolution?
Thanks
Andy

In the snipped section above commenting out vert and horz refresh
lines and adding a modeline for resolution should work.

And what's the least painful way of producing such a modeline for a
given monitor? My 22" is still not running at full res.
TIA

Google for modeline generator. There is online utility for generating
specific modeline. BUT if you are using a recent monitor just
specifying
mode = "1024x800" or similar should be sufficient with out having to
give horizontal or vertical refresh rates.

PS: I know most of people do not follow email niceties (mostly they
are not aware) but if you follow bottom post/in-line post style of
email conversations it becomes a whole lot easier to carry on
meaningful dialogue and you can snip out what is not meaningful too.
Most people just hit reply button and top post leaving prior message
appended uselessly at bottom. See if you can adopt this style and
persuade others. In case you are already doing this ..... great,
spread the message.
