I've set up everything on my SuSE 8.1 Professional system and, except for a sound card problem, it's working flawlessly. Only problem I have is my own - my vision just doesn't deal well with 1024x768 and that's the resolution (of course! <g>) that was installed on my XServer. I've tried using YaST2 to reset it but my screen goes flakey and nothing shows - it's almost like it doesn't resize anything after the resolution change (?).

Anyway, I'd really, really like to be able to change the resolution - all users (me and myself as root) to 800x600 which is much more comfortable for me.

Any ideas/thoughts on how to make this happen without having to reinstall everything from scratch???

Thanks in advance.

Tom
