In the XF86Config file, find the section for your server (Section Screen, Driver "SVGA" for me), and there should be a line above Subsection "Display" called DefaultColorDepth. If it isn't there, make it. Here's the relevant section from mine: Section "Screen" Driver "SVGA" Device "Primary Card" Monitor "Primary Monitor" DefaultColorDepth 32 SubSection "Display" Depth 32 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection > Also is there a way to save screen size I.E. so that every time I start > Netscape I do not have to rezie it to fit the window.

I use FVWM and don't have that problem, but I always thought it was Netscape that was remembering its size. -- /-----------------------------------------------------------\ | Eric Gillespie, Jr. | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |----------------------------<*>----------------------------| | "Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and | | depriving him of his life there exists only a difference | | of degree." | | --Emperor Paul Muad'dib (Frank Herbert's Dune Messiah) | \-----------------------------------------------------------/
