sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg This will fire up the configurations for your XServer and will attempt detecting the monitors supported display modes. On recent hardware this should work, but it won't hurt to have your displays manual handy just in case. You need to know the native resolution for your flat panel. After reconfiguration the xorg X11 server, run: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart This will restart the display manager and if everything is now set properly, you'll get your familiar GUI login screen. -- Andrew S.
