You have to change the Section "Screen" in Your XF86Config-4: SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection This should work for Your Laptop with 16 bit color depth. For Your external Monitor I would suggest an entry like: SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" EndSubSection Check Your default color depth. It is: DefaultDepth 16 If 16 bit works correctly, You may want to try if it looks better with 24 bit. ;)) HTH Greetings Robin -- Robin Haunschild <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.tuxschild.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] .''`.
