GraphicsCard > ["XWindowSystem"]


["XFree86"] is an implementation of the ["XWindowSystem"] written originally for the Intel 80386 platform and certain video cards used on that platform. In short, it forms the basis for the Graphical User Interface of Debian (DesktopEnvironment).

Now, it supports other platforms and many different types of [graphics card]s. If you cannot find a specific driver for yours, use the ["VESA"] like default.

Resolution

To change resolution, type:

 dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
