First, please turn off the HTML in your e-mail. It is not a problem for me,
but it is for those who use a text only e-mail reader. TIA

Next, you can reset the res with Xconfigurator, and to start  from the
command line, use the "startx" command.

Subject: [newbie] Using Xwindows after install


I installed Linux Mandrake for the first time a few weeks ago.  I had it
autoload X windows.  When it loaded, the screen res was so low, I couldn't
even use it.  I reinstalled it again, but now I don't have it autoload
Xwindows, and I can't even figure out how to load it.

Soooooo...two questions.

1) How do you load Xwindows from the text part of Linux.

2) How do you set the screen res in X windows (It was so big that I couldn't
even read the whole menu when I right clicked, must of been like 320x480 or
so.
