I will do the log thing later...cant kill X right now. I have already killed all display managers as a matter of taste. I did this back when I still had full resolution, and it didnt affect anything AFAICT.
When I tried to go X in 1600x1200, It would think about it a second and spit me back to the console with a "no valid modes" or something similar. So no X at all. FWIW, I am *really* enjoying Debian. fonts and such are better, and everything just works better than in RH, which I used since about 1995. :) --- Nate Amsden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: >Jon Nichols wrote: >> >> Howdy. >> >> When I first started using Debian a few weeks ago, I got 1600x1200 in my X >> with 16-bit color.

Not again. The line must be drawn *here*. This far! No farther! And *I* will make them PAY for what they've done. _____________________________________________________________ Get your spam-free, Linux email now --> http://www.linuxwaves.com
