all i did was apt-get install x-windows system because all i really need are the libs that come with xfree86. everything works fine now but my desktop is in 640X8xx
(i dont really know) but what i really want it to be is 1024X768 any suggestions on what to do?

nibznik, edit your /etc/X11/XFree86Config file, as root, there are some lines concerning video display modes there. should just be a matter of uncommenting some lines and commenting out others
