Hi Yes I manged to get it sorted. I had to go down to a depth of 8 to get the resolution I wanted but the machine is mainly going to be a mail server so I am not too bothered about fancy looking graphics.

Hi I don't seem to be having much joy with the archives. Another old chestnut that must be there but various searches bring nothing up. My screen seems to be set to 800x600 and I want to try and make it a bit bigger. Xconfigurator seems to be a Redhat thing. What is the Debian equivalent? John -- Sent using Sylpheed.
