    Is it just giving you a low res 640x480?

    Unless we know more about the hardware we can't do much really.. after you edited xorg.conf did you restart the xserver? /etc/init.d/xdm restart
    and try setting the resolution again?

    You may need a special driver,,, ps.. it's a hopeless title. Doesn't everybody need help?
