Put "vga=ask" in your /etc/lilo.conf run "/sbin/lilo" and you will be given a choice of resolution on boot. To add consoles, in /etc/inittab add additional entries to section - # /sbin/getty invocations for the runlevels. To start X sessions above tty7, from the command line you could start them with - $ startx -- :8 as an example. kent -- I'd really love ta wana help ya Flanders but... Homer Simpson
