o I'd have an even worse hassle with a new printer. If you use the appropriate driver (Gutenprint/Gimp-Print), you will get superb output. Regards, Roger Progress ! Excellent output from the PDF viewer and OpenOffice SXW's but not with HTML files, even though OK previews appear on screen. Best regards, George George Langford [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Screen resolution won't stick after a reboot

quot; "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" InputDevice "Generic Mouse" EndSection Section "DRI" Mode0666 EndSection ___ The resolutions that I'm running (1024 by 768 on the debianatGB PC and 1280 by 960 on the debianatAZV133 PC) seem well within the capabilities of the Samsung Synchmaster 712N LCD monitor, and the monitor behaves OK once its screen resolution has been adjusted after each reboot, but it seems odd to me that it won't stay put during a reboot. I do notice that the screen resolution is OK on the X login screen, but reverts to VGA after I log in. The screen resolution also stays put OK on a third PC running Win98SE hooked up through the same KVM switch. Another clue is that the mouse gets lost every time I switch from debianatGB back to debianatAZV133, freezing the debianatAZV133 effectively even though the keyboard survives the transition OK. I've sent an inquiry to Belkin Tech Support about the mouse. George Langford -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
