Okay, David, Thanks alot for this but i stumble over the first stones already :o (1) Okay, I've installed 915resolution tool with Yast (actually it already has been installed) (2) I try to patch my xorg with instructions posted on http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/. it says "Option "ForceBIOS" "1024x768=1400x1050" This will re-program the old 1024x768 to become a new 1400x1050 one." but I can't find a section "driver" where i'm supposed to place this option. So I just crearted it myself on the bottom i wrote: Section "driver" ForceBIOS "1024x768=1400x1050" EndSection (3) I excitedly restarted X and it said: waitting for X server to shut down Free Font Path: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled" refcount is 2, should be 1; finxing. - so i made a "startx" and i was told: Fatal server error: no screens found XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X Server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining. - okay no way i can start it like this so i launched "sax2" and i got a bunch of error messages after i saved a working configuration and sax closed: Parse error on line 207 of secton driver in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf "driver" is not a valid section name. Problem when parsing config file. Isax could not import file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf at /usr/sbin/isax line 171. So i'm stuck here and i don't know further can you (or anybody else) may help me? It would be appreciated! Thank you! Ron -- chEErs Ron -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
