Walter,
i am not sure of the directory setup of mandrake but in redhat
linux, i configure it at /etc/X11/XF86Config. Open that file in
your text editor (i use pico) and go to the lower part of the
file, where you can find "svga server" and "accel server"
change the mode there to 800x600 instead of the 640x480
Hope this helps
Jack
