Hello everybody!

After some googling and some valuable tips from thsi list, I could solve 
almost all of my problems with Gobo.

Thanks! I wasn't able to find it, but I came out with another 
workaround: placing a # just before the gfxboot line in grub.conf. I 
don't have a fancy boot screen, but at least the annoying message is gone :)

That's funny, can you believe that a xorgconf command solved it all? 
Sometimes problems are simpler than we think they are ;)

Yes and it worked, I will detail what I did so people that search the 
list archives can go through the same way:

The xorg.0.log said that

Not using mode "1440x900" (no mode of this name)


In xorg.conf file I added:

Section "Monitor"

Modeline "1440x900" 106.47 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 901 904 932 -HSync +Vsync
Modeline "1440x900" 108.84 1440 1472 1880 1912 900 918 927 946
Modeline  "1440x900" 104.58 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 901 904 931
Modeline  "1440x900" 85.75 1440 1488 1520 1600 900 903 909 925 +HSync -Vsync

Section "Screen"
DefaultColorDepth 24

Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1440x900" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"



That gave me several refresh rate options to choose. The 1440x900 @60Hz 
was the best.

Thanks everybody! Now it works in wide :)

My next job is to install Gnome (I'm not very into that KDE... ;)
