Also, since many programmers do not believe 800x600 does make sense for some monitors, I can at least switch to a higher res as a work around. Hopefully, changing on the fly will also make it easier for these programmers to actually test on lower resolutions. Also this feature will hopefully induce some nice KDE/GNOME/whatever gui apps for setting the resolution/refresh you want by clicking on the desktop. Instead of searching through XFdrake. Also, it makes sense for some apps which want to resize the view screen (movieplayers, some games) previously you could use SDL to do this more or less. Now perhaps I can look to a movie in my rootwin, which is scaled appropiate, and still can use my panel. Probably could cook up some more. Point is: it is not neccesary, but it does make life easier. anyway, I am happy with the commandline tool already. Just it seems that the KDE panel is not randr aware. Well...There are more important things for Laurent to fix (like konq insisting on hanging up your system for 10 secs when you browse into /mnt and use supermount). d.
