With your help, I've found out that there is a was a free graphics driver 
installed for my graphics card, which is an NVidia (lspci | grep VGA). It has 
to do with "kernel-module nouveau"... There's also a non-free one, which I've 
installed now. This is in the package xserver-xorg-video-nvidia. Now, setting 
the resolution works fine. Looks like the free driver is broken.

And, my distro is Debian-testing. The version of my X-Server (package xserver-
xorg) is 1:7.7+1.

So far so good, but I still can't set the Gamma value for my screen. There's 
seems to be no control in the system settings for that. 


Tnx,
Volker
