Why not just change change line 18 of /etc/sysconfig/videobios to read: VIDEOBIOS_PARAMETERS="5c 1440 900" Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Well, Joe that sounds like a winner. After all of the googling I only found the 915 thing that I posted about. I found that result and gave it a try and it worked for me, I had know Idea about the VIDEOBIOS_PARAMETERS= setting. I have been using linux since about 1998 with an early red disto that I downloaded and installed from rpms. I have learned quite a lot about linux since then and am willing to try anything. To me the best move I have ever made was ditching windows. I have converted my wife and sons and they hate to even use windows at work and school. I am not a guru, but I consider myself to be a power user at least, so I am always open to learning.
