Hi, Try adding to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 Section "Screen" [..] SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection the resolution you want explicitly e.g for 1024x768 @16 edit the above "Modes" line to Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" Adjust for other depths as needed. -- Chris. ====== -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
