"915resolution -l" should list the available modes.
Yes it does - although not perfectly. I am not 100% certain I got it right, in that I also changed xorg.conf to remove the monitor refresh rates and add in all the resolutions shown from 915resolution -l When I did that it seemed to assume the screen was bigger than it was and although it allowed some panning, I didn't have access to the whole virtual screen area. BUT - when I removed 915resolution and also put back the monitor refresh rates into xorg.conf BUT left the additional screen sizes in the file I got the same effect as above. Eventually - to get it to work, I have to limit the the screen size to 1280x1024 But I don't see the point of 915resolution. it is much easier to just configure monitor refresh rates in xorg,conf - when it works fine - rather than install a new application which I also have to configure with screen resolution data. -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
