Unfortunately, in X you can't yet change the desktop resolution, only the visible resolution: the 2D desktop will still eat up all the video RAM. So while it might work in Windows, I don't think it will work in X until xrandr is done. -- Billy Biggs [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
