The fact that you cant change th eresolution is probably due cause the relevant entry is missing in your xorg config file. I noticed that my older systems (9.1, 9.3) has several choices by default. My 10.1 only had a few. If you add the relevant resolutions manually, you ought to get the feature back... This is a snippet from my own file: Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen 1" Device "Matrox 1" Monitor "Belinea 106030" DefaultDepth 16 Subsection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1280x1024" <----- this is where you add resolutions ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection EndSection You MIGHT need corresponding modelines too, i am not entirely sure about that though... -- /Rikard ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] web : http://www.rikjoh.com mob: : +46 (0)763 19 76 25 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >
