Ok, now how do I make the screen fit at a resolution of 800x600? It only fits at 1024 which is way to small, at 800, you have to move around, I commented out all the stuff that says virtual in the XF86Config but that accomplished nothing. It's an S3 so if anyone knows what lines to take out our XF86Config or another file, let me know. Sincerely, Kevin W. English englishkw@computer.org On Fri, 20 Mar 1998, Matthew D.
