Alt-F? won't work with X, but Ctrl-Alt-F? will work. > Any suggestions? Yeah, this sounds like a modelines problem. What size monitor do you have? What resolutions does it run? In the Monitor section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config file, change the horizontal and vertical refresh rates to match those of your monitor. Also specify the screen resolution. If you don't know how to do this, then send us your XF86Config file and we can mark it up for you. -- Soren Harward [EMAIL PROTECTED] ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
