Thanks! It worked. Here is the method I used... in /etc/modutils/ I made a file named: matroxfb the information I included in it was: options matroxfb pixclock=10000 left=170 right=70 upper=21 lower=11 hslen=96 vslen=15 xres=1024 yres=768 depth=24 #options matroxfb vesa=0x1BB
mind you the first 2 lines are suppose to be one long line... didn't know how double lines would work :) I then ran the command 'update-modules' and rebooted. Blamo! it worked. Thanks all for the help on this one Guys. Parrish Myers --- "Eric G .
