kill kdm/xdm, and load X from console. kill -9 will get rid of kdm/xdm then CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACe to kill the X server and return to console. then you can .. xdm >& X.log kdm >& X.log startx >& X.log any of the above will record the X stuff to a log. what i'd look for is X deleting the mode lines because they may be 'invalid' (even if they appear to be X does that sometimes) which would prevent you going to that resolution. i got the same videocard here ..but i dont think i have a monitor that can go to 1600x1200 ...MAYBE one of our old 21"ers can .. i'll check it out here if i get a chance. nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 2:20pm up 88 days, 1:53, 1 user, load average: 1.69, 1.58, 1.56
