On my emachines test server, xorg does work, but xdm brings up a default of 1600x1280 or something close. It's nice to be able to squeeze two size=by=side xterms with fonts that i can see. still, other apps are hard to read. so: is there a way to switch the default to 1280x1024? More importantly, my ThinkPad maxes out at 1024x768. ARe the xorg drivers intelligent enough to recognize the hardware limitations? thanks, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
