I had the old resolution at 1600x1200, and the ThinkPanel gives me an 'out of range' message. where's the file that I can change my desktop resolution? I'm guessing somewhere in /etc/X11, but I can't dig it up in there.... EDIT: found the information I needed to change in /etc/X11/xorg.conf Last edited by monty; 03-02-2005 at 03:18 PM.
