The easiest way to enable it would be to open the config file with a text editor and change Modes "800x600" "640x480" to Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" or alternatively use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 Registered Linux User #267976 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
