Hi, a new way of trying to do it I guess... I would rather: 1. check whether you have both XF86Config and XF86Config-4 if so and if you are using 4.x.x then it is XF86Config-4 which is being used by X, any changes in XF86Config won't achieve very much. 2. in case you specified more than one resolution in you configuration you can try to switch between them with Ctrl Alt +(from the numeric pad) to increase it and Ctrl Alt -(from the numeric pad) to decrease it. 3. If nothing happens, or if you are not satisfied with the results then hack your XF86Config[-4] go to the section screen check whether you are happy with DefaultDepth (I set it to 16 acceleration might not work with 24) then check whether the Subsection "Display" which has the same Depth has the right resolution in the Modes line just put one resolution to start with: the one you like. Check that no other Subsection "Display" (if there are any) has the same Depth. Hope that helps... Cheers Lionel --- "Jose R.
