I'm aware of xrandr; unfortunately, applications don't seem to be. xrandr is great for internet-TV, when I want to temporarily resize the screen, because resizing the screen doesn't cost anything in cpu cycles. Software scaling of video is a cpu hog. But Firefox won't automatically resize to the new resolution. fbpanel menubar disappears off the bottom when I go to a smaller screen, etc, etc. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
