At the very least, when someone sets resolution to 640x480 (which is a resolution that does not, under any circumstances work with mcc without wm workarounds...), pop up a box saying something to the effect of "drakconf may not be usable at the selected resolution. To change the resolution from this resolution to something else, please use drakxconf or text-mode tools." with a checkbox for "do not show this again". This way, any users who do set the resolution to 640x480 are at least informed that drakconf may not work and that there are tools that will do the job better in this situation. -- -- Levi Ramsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG Fingerprint: 354C 7A02 77C5 9EE7 8538 4E8D DCD9 B4B0 DC35 67CD Currently playing: Metallica - Fixxxer Linux 2.4.21pre3-2mdk 09:42:33 up 1 min, 0 users, load average: 1.18, 0.31, 0.10
