Are you talking about the resolution? (The X Y size of your screen?). You can use ctrl-alt- and ctrl-alt- to change the size of the viewport (the part of the screen you actually see on your monitor) on the fly. You can also edit /etc/X11/XF86Config (if you're running XFree 4.x) or /etc/XF86Config (if you're running XFree 3.x) Look near the bottom of the file for the lines to change. -- _ _ _ ___ ____ ___ ______________________________________ / \/ \ | ||_ _|| _ \|___| | Jason Andresen -- jandrese@mitre.org / /\/\ \ | | | | | |/ /|_|_ | Views expressed may not reflect those /_/ \_\|_| |_| |_|\_\|___| | of the Mitre Corporation.
