In your /etc/XF86Config, edit the "Modes" line for the 8-bit option on your video card. It should read something like --> Modes "800x600" "1152x864" "1024x768" <-- Or whatever order you would like the different resolutions to come up in when you cycle through them with CTRL-ALT-<Keypad +/->. Note: There are a lot default settings in this file, be sure you edit the correct section. > Also, anyone know how to speed up the mouse a little?

The higher the number, the faster the acceleration. Good luck. - Justin Ashworth, Intern -- Structured Network Systems, Inc. --- justin@structured.net
