When I tried that one, all I could get was 640x480. I got a message saying that 1024x768 wouldn't work (shouldn't it?), and 800x600 lookes "screwy". I'm using a Sony Trinitron Multiscan200sf monitor, if that makes a difference. When I used the deb-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, I selected the "medium" selection for setting up the xserver. I'll play some more, but would still appreciate any input. Thanks, again. -- Paul F. Pearson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://home.hiwaay.net/~ppearson/ "Lord heal our land. Father heal our land.
