Resolution trouble

I was installing samba, (I don't get that works ok) and when I restart my computer, the resolution es changed, I want the 1024*768 and now It would be 680*400. How can I put the well resolution.

Uses Arch linux, with xfce, with xorg and savage drivers. My screen is a laptop screen of 1024*768. And the resolution was ok until today.

PD: When I turn on the computer, the letters like ms-dos are in a well resolution (1024*768) xfce has the problem.

Re: Resolution trouble

Did you change the Driver to "savage" in the xorg.conf and in whatever Default Depth, did you set the mode resolution to 1024x768?

Re: Resolution trouble

Yes, in xorg.conf I've got 1024*768, when the computer starts is in 1024*768, but when xfce starts then the resolution changes. I try to change from xfce but 1027*768 res doesn't appear. I'm sure that I've got to write in a .conf from xfce the resolution but I don't what is.

Before, I used savage driver and I've got no problem.

In adittion, I copy the line  of resolution in all modes en xorg.conf

Re: Resolution trouble

Your HorizSync is wrong for sure, no way is it the same as the VertRefresh. Apart from that it all looks ok, to the best of my knowledge. Try removing the HorizSync line and restarting to see if that helps.
