You should start a new string when you have a different topic. If the S3 server is the server your card uses then use that. You don't change servers to change your screen size. You change the file /etc/XF86Config to do that. You can use /usr/bin/X11/XF86Setup (graphical) or /usr/bin/X11/xf86config (text) in order to do so. Before you do that though hit "ctrl-alt-+" (the "+" on the number pad). This allows you to switch screen sizes if you have more than one designated in /etc/XF86Config. If you don't then you need to edit that file. Another way to tell is if you have mode lines with several sizes like - Modes "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" You will be able to circulate through them. If you have this then you could just move the size you want to the front of the line and it will be the default size loaded. If there is just 640x480 all the way down the file you will need to reconfigure. hth, kent -- I'd really love to wana help you Flanders but... Homer Simpson
