I'm not sure that I know how to set the resolution for CentOS in non-GUI mode. I will have to look at that. Holding alt and draging does not work for the windows. It does for windows with a header/frame, but not for the ones where I've removed the header/frame and/or forced to position 0,0. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
