There sure is... First of all if you are in KDE try pressing CTl+Alt+"keypad plus" (or minus) This will rotate you through all the resolutions defined for your monitor. Next Open Mandrake Control Centre >Hardware>Display and you can set your default resolution. Expert mode alllows you to set your video card and monitor type. Note : If you have edited your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file to use the Nvidia drivers then this procedure will erase your edits and you will have to do it again. (If you do not know what I am on about then dont worry about it.) HTH derek
