I assume that you know the correct max+min vertical and horizontal refresh rates for your monitor. If so, go to the page... http://koala.ilog.fr/cgi-bin/nph-colas-modelines and follow the instructions to generate a gazillion screen-sizes. Note; this is one website which has a legitimate need for javascript to be turned on to operate. For maximum flexibility... - start X with the highest resolution your monitor+card can handle - in an xterm, run "xrandr -q > screens.txt" and read the output - run "xrandr -s ..." replacing "..." with the desired size. xrandr seems to be able to take you to a lower res than you started X with, but never a higher one. And does anybody know what's required to get rotation to work under xrandr? -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An infinite number of monkeys pounding away on keyboards will eventually produce a report showing that Windows is more secure, and has a lower TCO, than linux. -- [email protected] mailing list
