Sax2 helped me get a GUI working, and after installing the ATI driver I was able to enable 1680x1050 resolution. However, the settings are reset each time I shut down the machine. I must first login to the text console as user, then run sax2, and only then can I run startx. And it 'forgets" the 1680x1050 resolution each time. There is a lot of output to the screen, I don't know if any of it is important, but it's too much to write down. If someone could tell me where the appropriate log is, I'll send it to the list. Thanks in advance.

The /var/log/xorg.0.log is the last run log, so you have to save it before you run sax2 or startx.
If configuration 'forgets' settings you may also save /etc/xorg.conf before running sax2 and than again before startx. Compare them.

Thanks. Once I have a known-working xorg.conf, could I just make it read-only, so that it will not get overwritten and the known-good settings will stay? Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת
