Changing screen resolution under KDE 3.0
 

hi there,

i'm a total newbie in lunux OS, i've just installed slackware 8.1 on my old PC , and i must say : i really like it.

but got some questions - 1st one : how do i change the screen resolution under KDE 3.0 ( currently i got 640x480 in 16 bit)
and my card wishes for more ;]
ps. i had no problems switching resoultion for text mode under normal text shell ( not GNU - KDE )

please help. thanx

CTRL_ALT_+ and CTRL_ALT_- go back and forth through the modes listed in xorg.conf (or xf86config).

in the monitor section, you may need to add modes before those key-combos will do anything.

I hope someone else will mention if this info doesn't apply to slack 8.1, my linux history only goes back a few months as yet.

In all honesty, why did you install such an old version of Slack?

didn't work :((

i don't know

i got an ancient P133 64mb ram and 1,2 gb hdd , and i wanted to test it... there's one thing for sure : i need office package, that's why i'm desperate to run xwindows in at least 800x600

more specifics plz...

have you looked in your xorg.conf to see what modes are listed in the monitor section?? did you edit in any new modes?

if you post your xorg.conf (or XF86config) you might get a more definitive answer.
