hello, pals
..xactly whats in the subject
in xfce as in kde was simple (don't know why, in every single wm I install, such app run in -don't remember the numbers.. the next upper than 800x600) but twm is pretty much "basic"..
I've tried to find any manual, but there's not a lot of information or/and my english is the "basic" thing in here..
so, if anybody knows howto set the screen resolution in 800x600 for twm, It'll be apreciated.
txs-a-lot

I don't know how to change from the default, I had a quick look at man startx and didn't find mcuh useful, but the default resolution is always the first in the list in xorg.conf under the Display section -> 'Modes' so if you put "800x600" first for your default colour depth then twm should start using that resolution, remember you need to restart X

yes phil, just removing every single string diffetent to "800x600" in xorg.conf, the problem was solved..
