    Hiya, I'm running Debian Sarge on my desktop PC and the resolution is maxed out at 800x600 for some reason.

    I've tried editing the XF86Config-4 file and adding in larger resolutions manually, but unfortunately KDE or X doesn't show it as an option still.

    Any ideas? 
    Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	Device		"Generic Video Card"
	Monitor		"PLE431"
	DefaultDepth	24
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth		1
		Modes		"1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth		4
		Modes		"1024x768"  "800x600" "640x480"
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth		8
		Modes		"1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth		15
		Modes		"1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth		16
		Modes		"1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth		24
		Modes		"1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

    It's a while since I moved off Debian, but AFAIR you should do
    dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

    to run through the config sequence again.
