Ran that but it didn't help much, all I see is the top of two tabs. One says Display and the other Advanced. I can click on them but I need to be able to zoom back to actually see the other controls. See my response to Oisin for further discussion, looks like I have the wrong card selected. Thanks, Linn >>> wolfgang@botanybay.nsw.gov.au 11/14/02 21:01 PM >>> Run the 'redhat-config-xfree86' from the command prompt or console in X. This will allow you to reconfigure XF86. And it will allow you to configure the monitor also.

Was originally running Windows 95 and |worked fine. | |I recently installed RH8.0 and it's basically working but when |I run startx it launches but it's huge. The task bar covers |about 1/3 of the screen and icons are about 3" wide. It looks |like the resolution is way down, like whatever the next |setting below 640x480 is. | |Question is then, how can I correct this? I should also |mention that during the installation, when it let me pick the |graphics card and test it I couldn't get it to display any |resonable resolution. This card was listed in the selection |list but it would just blink and go right back when I hit the |test button, regardless of the resolution setting. | |I checked for drivers at the Diamond site but of course |couldn't find any. | |I'm open to suggestions here. (crossing fingers there's |another option other than replacing the video card.) | |Thanks in advance, |Linn ###################################################################### Attention: This e-mail message is privileged and confidential.
