Hi everybody, I had my Linux working fine, only that I wanted to change the screen resolution to 800 x 600 (it was setup to 640 x 480 and some windows are too big and I can't see the OK, CANCEL, HELP, CONNECT, etc... buttons and can't change the size of some of those windows). So from DrakeConf I tried to change it to 800 x 600, and something terrible happened: the screen keeps blinking all the time and it won't start XWindows, it stays in the login screen (text mode)and it's almost impossible to type anything unless I do it very, very slowly and making sure I type each letter just in the exact moment that it blinks, which is every 2 seconds approx. I've tried a new install of LM 7.0 (Air), but it hangs after it gets to the second stage install. Is there a command or a way that I can get back into de screen configuration again and change it back to where it was?(although its gonna be very difficult to type, but I don't mind trying) Or, Is it better to download (with W98) LM 7.1 and install it over the old one? I've also tried to boot with the boot disk but no way, it doesn't work, I guess I didn't make it correctly. If someone could help me it would be really great. My pc is: Pentium 133mhz 2 hard drives (one with W98 and the other LM 7.0 (Air)-kernel 2.2.14-15) 24M of RAM CD-ROM OTI-Hermes 10x Monitor: Olivetti DSM 28-142 PS / LOW EMISSION Graphic Card (or whatever it's called): S3 Trio64V+ PCI(765) In Linux Mandrake list of Monitors the olivetti doen's show, so it was set as Generic SuperVga something (I don't remember the rest) Another thing: I tried with another old Compaq Monitor I have lying around unused, but exactly the same problem. TIA Carol^ P.S.: I was so happy with my Linux working, included the internet connection. I don't why I had to fiddle with the screen resolution, it wasn't so terrible. Now I don't know what to do!!!!!!!
