Michel:
Thank you. Your suggestion worked for me. The CRTScreen option forces XFree86 to search through individual VESA modes. However, for this to work, the projector should be plugged in and on before starting X. In addition, there is a loss of image quality (slight flickering) on the LCD. However, this works and I am very happy. I have posted a short web page concerning the use of the HP Pavilion ZT1290 with Redhat Linux 7.3. I will add this to the page. For those of you that might be interested, the web page address is http://emlab2.nmsu.edu/zt1290.html -- Steve Castillo On 28 Aug 2002, Michel D�nzer wrote: > On Tue, 2002-08-27 at 23:01, Steven Castillo wrote: > > > > I do not want my resolutions to scale to full screen.
