How would I manage multiple settings with xfree86? I read a bunch of manpages but don't see what I want to do.
When my system boots, I want it to default to 640x480 mode, even though my card supports 800x600 and 1024x768. Then, if I want, I want to get to a console prompt, and somehow restart x in a way that uses one of the higher resolutions. my eventual goal would be to normally be in 640x480 for easy reading, but to switch to a higher supported resolution for file editing, or maybe reading a webpage written for a larger size screen. I would also like to get my screen going in a vga or svga mode, but have no idea what I have to do to set that up. I know if the install script runs this way, there must be a way. I can't be the first person to want to do this, so how do I do this? --- Scotty -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
