I can access the configuration, but can't adjust the resolution still!
What happens when you try? Does it just not change anything, or does your monitor go blank?

It seem I can't set the resolution right, and the X-Window won't start!
Sounds like you're trying to set your resolution to more than your monitor can handle. Try something less ambitious, or a lower refresh rate.

I have a Matrox Mistique 4MB and Sony 19" monitor, in Win98, can even try on 1024*768 32 Bit colour, it's no problem, I try even smaller resolution in Linux, but still can't get it working.
Are you sure you have the correct video card driver installed? If not, you won't get anything to work right.
