If so, it seems that it will rewrite the XF86Config-4 file back to the way it thinks is best. It is possible that you don't have the 1024x768 mode in your XF86Config-4. If you don't, put it in and see what happens when you restart X. Subsection "Display" Depth 16 #Virtual 1024 768 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubsection I think this may have been mentioned earlier, but you can use Ctl+Alt+Keypad+/- to cycle through the different modes, so if for some reason you start in 800x600 you can change to 1024x768. If that doesn't work, then there might be a driver problem or something that is beyond me and it doesn't take very much to get beyond me. -- Job Evers
