Well, you can do this on the Mac (OS X) using Lynn Pye's 'cscreen' command line app: http://www.pyehouse.com/lynn/cscreen.dmg (To get info on how to use it, put it somehwere like your home directory, open Terminal, and type "~/cscreen -h" and hit return).) It also lets you get the current depth, width, height and refresh rate of each connected monitor, and allows you t ochange any of these things including which display has the menubar. For Windows, you can check out the third-party command line executable "MultiRes", "Resolution Changer", or "VidRes" at: http://www.entechtaiwan.com/files/multires.exe http://www.myitforum.com/inc/upload/1365Vidchng.zip http://www.jddesign.co.uk/ (For more information, see http://groups.google.co.uk/group/microsoft.public.windows.server.scripting/m sg/423d3f435989d049) HTH, Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software Web site: http://www.sonsothunder.com/ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
