Re: how to change resolution without keypad (Question about X)

What do you mean by changing resolution?

If you are wanting to zoom in or out, and can't use the default key mapping then you 
can easily
change it.  To do this open the GIMP menu where the function appears.  Next hold the 
pointer over
the function you want to change the key mapping for and simply press the keys you want 
to use. 
Easy or what?  I believe this was covered in the GIMP User Manual.

The same should be true of most of the other functions, so if its not zoom then you 
probably would
find the right one anyway.

However thinking about this I know what you want, you want to change the screen 
resolution - which
is not really a GIMP question at all.  Try looking at the XF86 documentation at either
www.xfree86.org or www.linuxdoc.org

A laptop is only good for one resolution anyway, and LCD based technology has a 
different color
spec than CRT - for graphics use you really should be using CRT until LCD improves.

how to change resolution without keypad

2000-06-17 Thread 1


Hello all.

I finally got Linux on my laptop and I have a basic question.

How can I increase the resolution?  The docs say ctrl-shift-NumPAd+   but
since this is a laptop, it uses a windows driver to emulate the KeyPad on
the little keyboard.  Is there another way?
