I guess the bottom line is that there is no "magic bullet" that will instruct X-Applications to size no greater than the size of your screen's resolution -- which is too bad. Setting *geometry resources all the time is no fun. In any case, I gave the super-high resolution (1024x768) another shot with another root pattern, and the "moire" seemed to disappear. I'm still not sure if that is very good for my hardware, and in any case, I only get 256 colors, and some applications *still* don't fit. Oh, well. I'll stick with 800x600. -Drifter --- drifter@stratos.nospam.net (remove nospam to send) "Ever notice that in every commercial about the Internet, advertising geniuses can't resist having a bunch of kids staring into a monitor, awe- struck, looking at a whale jumping out of the ocean?
