[NTLUG:Discuss] xorg.conf settings question

[Wayne Dahl]

Hi folks.  I need a little help here.  I had an update go a bit south on 
my laptop here, HP Pavillion DV9620US.  In the process of trying to fix 
it, I mistakenly ran the xorg fix from the recovery session and it 
basically wiped my xorg.conf file.  I THOUGHT I had a backup copy of the 
working file, but upon inspection, turns out I don't.

Here's the contents of my current xorg.conf file...

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by failsafeDexconf, using
# values from the debconf database and some overrides to use vesa mode.
#
# You should use dexconf or another such tool for creating a "real" 
xorg.conf
# For example:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

I know the screen resolutions are missing and I haven't been able to 
figure out where to put what.  This one doesn't look anything like my 
desktop.  Max resolution on this laptop is 1440x900, not sure about the 
refresh rate.  The video card is an nVidia GeForce Go 7150M (UMA) and 
the screen is a 17" WXGA+ High-Definition BrightView Widescreen.

Any help would be appreciated.  I don't know if I'm just putting the 
wrong keyword in or what, but Google hasn't been much help, so far.

Thanks
