I have actually tried that a few days ago, running 915resolution from rc.securelevel like pkg/DESCR says with no positive effect. I didn't know which mode to change, so I even booted my system at securelevel -1 and manually set every mode to 1680 1050 mode with absolutely no effect (other than changing those Mode outputs in Xorg.log). Just now I changed mode 4d to 1680x1050 and restarted X. My display is now running [EMAIL PROTECTED] .. showing a massive, unscrollable 1680x1050 desktop. This message is hence cramped and insanely hard to read while I type :) tori$ sudo 915resolution -l | grep 4d Mode 4d : 1680x1050, 16 bits/pixel tori$ xwininfo -root | grep geometry -geometry 1680x1050+0+0 Any more suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong? -- I prefer the dark of the night, after midnight and before four-thirty, when it's more bare, more hollow. http://a.mongers.org
