I spoke too soon. It worked for a while but eventually after leaving and re-entering XQuartz, the resolution was back to 1440x900. I quit XQuartz and restarted it but then I couldn't leave xquartz anymore. Command-Option-A just made the screen go black (rather than showing the normal desktop) until I pressed it again to go back to my XQuartz windows. Oh well. cheers, raf _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
