ohh BTW you can edit your "display modes" from 1024x768 to 800x600 or 640x480 ..you can try it..

I think this is the part your looking for.

check if your video card is supported by your version of xf86. i've had this problem with RedHat 7.3, and nothing helped. I just changed my video card, cause at that time ther wasn't an update of xf86. Good luck!

have you edit it word?? if still not working you need to edit again this part of my small tutorial :
-You will see your X configuration and look at your "input device for mouse " ...find protocol "(name of mouse)"<<< changed to "auto" if "auto" not working... edit again back to name of "protocol mouse" before you changed to "auto" I meant.. back to the name for the first time you have.

-and the the last thing go to subsection "Display":
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768"<<<< I edit to this line

And for this part you will see Depth 1
Modes "1024x768"<<<< added this line
Depth 8
Modes "1024x768"<<<< added this line
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768"<<<<added this line
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768"<<<<, added this line

That's it just typed :wq to save your edit
# cp XF86Config.new /etc/X11/XF86Config <<<I forgot this one and then "enter'

# startx


I think that's will work for you... can you please let me know ..thanks
