Re: [newbie] Monitor Configuration
... maybe. Xconfigurator does an okay job, but the last time I used it (Mandrake 6.0, I think) it would not set the DefaultColorDepth line even if you did not pick a resolution for a color depth other than 8-bit. if you have XF86Setup installed, that may work better. If not, then you'll have to (gasp!) edit an ASCII config file by hand. Depending on what monitor settings you want to change, though, xvidtune may the utility for you. It's hard to say; you weren't very verbose in your e-mail. -Matt Stegman [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Tue, 21 Dec 1999, Joe Brault wrote: I have a question for you all.

Re: [newbie] Monitor Configuration
As root type the following at a command prompt: XConfigurator FWIW - I was extremely nervous to change my settings. If I messed up the settings and couldn't read the screen, the OS would be worthless. The above command lets you test the settings before applying them. As a newbie, this one is a piece of cake.
