No luck reconfiguring resolution options.

Hi all.

I'm going through the process of configuring my install of etch on a Dell Inspiron B130, getting things set up the way I like them and such, and I'm already snagged.

In Gnome, when I go to Desktop -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution, the only options I get are 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480. My monitor is a wide screen, so not only do I want a higher resolution, but I'd prefer a different aspect ratio.

I Googled "Debian screen resolution" and got a guide about using dpkgreconfigure  xserver-xorg to change these settings, so I followed the instructions, ran the reconfig, and got the option to add support for other resolutions, which I did, After the reconfig util was done, I rebooted. Logging back in, I went to Desktop -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution and found no change. I'm still running 1024x768.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could tell me how to change my screen resolution.

TIA,
Andrew
