(I've heard that there is an other way to solve the problem, but never quite got the details (something about disabling virtual screens???).) One way to solve the problem is to delete the "1024x768" from each of the lines below. (It might also work if you put the "800x600" line first on the line.) Pseudo Explanation: It seems that X always makes a "virtual" screen (my terminology, may not agree with X terminology) that is the size of the first specified resolution on the Modes line (or the largest resolution on the Modes line??). Then, if you specify the use of a smaller resolution (say 800x600) (using say, <ctrl><alt>- (or +)), you get an 800x600 "window" on the larger virtual screen (instead of getting an 800x600 window on an 800x600 screen). It can sometimes be a nice feature, but I personally don't think it should be the default. (In Windows (95) the default is just the opposite, but there are ways (IIRC) of getting the same result as the default X approach.) hope this helps, Randy Kramer > Subsection "Display" > Depth 8 > Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" > Virtual 0 0 > EndSubsection > Subsection "Display" > Depth 16 > Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" > Virtual 0 0 > EndSubsection > Subsection "Display" > Depth 24 > Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" > Virtual 0 0 > EndSubsection > Subsection "Display" > Depth 32 > Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" > Virtual 0 0 > EndSubsection > > EndSection _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
