This is my request for incorporation into DrakX for 9.0 :-) Danny ------------------------------------- However this did not work for me. The maximum resolution I could get was 1600x1200. So I had to go in manually adjust it "1920x1200". This is for a Sun 10W90 24" monitor ( kinda same as a Sony W900 ". BTW SuSE has the same problem. Even tho Matrox drivers support 1920x1200 and 1920x1080 , the tools don't seem to aloow them. So now, first thing I do with any distro is throwq away XF86Config and do it by hand. It is especially painful when yoy have a 1920x1200 and 1600x1200 side by side on a dual head. Sinan
