Did it work, then? Are you getting 1024x768? To test: take a screenshot (using the gnome tool or 'import -window root tempfile.png') and run the program `file' over the result. This will give you the resolution. Example: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ import -window root tempfile.png [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ file tempfile.png tempfile.png: PNG image data, 1280 x 1024, 16-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced (there's probably a much easier approach to doing this. The gnome-display-properties program seems to tell you, for example.) > But still my icons and open windows are quite big, like I would use > lover resolution.

For a lower resolution, a smaller number of pixels are occupying the same amount of space on the screen as for a larger resolution. Therefore, it's normal for an icon to appear larger at a smaller resolution. In GNOME, you can run nautilus-file-management-properties (shows up as `File Management Properties' or similar on the GNOME menu under settings or preferences or somesuch) and select smaller icon sizes (they're expressed in percentages, I believe). -- Jon Dowland http://jon.dowland.name/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
