The machine is a DECTOP that uses an AMD geode with integrated graphics. It appears that the xorg.config is not being autoconfigured -- I checked that both xserver-xorg-video-geode and -amd are loaded and that looks ok but the xorg.config doesnt appear to recognize the geode at all and just uses all the generic default settings. Tried the dpkg-recofigure + restart -- didnt do anything.

AMD Geode GX processor
4 USB 1.1 ports (2 front/2 rear)
support printers, Flash memory, disk drives, and network adapters
LAN interface- external 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
Modem - internal 56 Kbps ITU v.92 Fax/Modem
10GB 3.5" internal hard disk (MINE HAS 180GB)
Stereo headphone/microphone jacks
VGA port - supports resolutions up to 1600x1200 at 85 Hz
Sound - AC'97 audio with stereo in/out jacks
Size - 8.5" x 5.5" x 2.5"
Weight - approx. 3 pounds
128MB RAM -- (MINE HAS 500MB)

I tried three different screens: Samsung SyncMaster 150MP, A dell 1707FPf, and a Dell 1702FP -- the samsung works the best but only at 800x600. Both dells dont appear to be recognized either.

Thanks, Steve
