Hi, usually the 640x480 screen means that your card has not been recognised as supported and the server uses the vga driver which works for everything... You should probably check which driver is used in your device section. Basically, if you don't mind no having acceleration and are using X 4.x.x switching to the vesa driver should give you the resolution you wish to have. Try and if you don't get it, post your XF86Config[-4] cheers Lionel
PS if you run X 3.3.6 try SVGA as a driver (you might even get accel...) --- Kevin-John Beasley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yay, I got into X. But I don't like it.
