resetting screen resolution
Hey hey,
I finally managed to install a dual boot on my p2 box.
No I can take my time to learn Linux (starting with the suse version).
The problem is that for my second box I have an old screen, with a 640x480 resolution as result.
By the way, it's even an old super-vga screen.
You can imagine that always scrolling from the top to the feet of a site, from the left to the right of a window isn't the 'jippiest' thing to do. That's where my question begins.
I logged in as root. No prob so far.
When i typed XFconfig, no prob; but i have to reset all things on my pc like keyboard, mouse, videocard, ....
So somebody told me that when I could change the resolution in /etc/X11/XF86Config .
Okay, that's okay, but how do I get in there, how do I change it?
Thought you guys here could help me out...
Greetz,
LB

If you are looking for an editor try typing vi /etc/X11/XF86Config
Type man vi for instructions.
If you're running gnome try gedit /etc/X11/XF86Config
