Hello TP folks

I just installed a debian woody 2.4 on my old 770X thinkpad, and it's =
now having its second life as a gateway for my home network.

I managed everythink to work fine except the resolution :

I've got the last release of X86free and I borrowed the XF86Config from =
this list so I assume it is correct

but the default gnome session continues to show up in 800x600 instead of =
the wanted 1280x1024 whatever I try

all the docs I found say I should try changing the resolution by using =
ctrl-alt + and -
but even when I manage to set numlock on under gnome, it doesn't work =
(does nothing)

I did not see any related message in .gnome-errors, I don't have any =
.xsession-errors file

did I miss something ?

CloD
