Login as normal via the linux login screen. The display is 1280x1024. I use the system config to change the display to 1600x900. All works until I logout. The next time I log in, the display has reverted to 1280X1024. It's as if, when I change the display to the higher value, it's not being retained---only for the duration of that session. mw -- "Lose not thy airspeed, lest the ground rises up and smites thee." -- William Kershner http://crucis-court.com http://www.crucis.net/1632search On 10/08/2012 04:19 PM, Marko Vojinovic wrote: > On Monday, 8.
