***just loaded ver4, and Evolution buttons are off-screen. Going to controlCenter / peripherals/ Display only shows 800x600 as the maximum option, how can i set higher please ?

Edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file the first part is the monitor section, make sure you have the right H V set for your monitor. First make a copy of your xorg.conf like so, as root open a terminal and log in as root su then give root passwd. Change into the X11 directory, like so (if you didn't know how) cd /etc/X11/ enter. Then make the copy with the command cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.old enter. That way if you mess things up you will have the original copy saved.



The next part to edit is the default modes section, ie if you are using a DefaultDepth 24 edit that section. The xorg.conf is read from left to right, so in this example 1024x768 will be the default setting.

***many thanks Ranger, ive printed this and will try later. At moment got another problem !
the HD has windows + 3 diff Linux, and now GRUB has got messed up (dont ask!) giving error17.
ive repaired Mbr with Paragon and now in Win, so what i need is some Utility to re-Setup Grub.
maybe something i can keep on Floppy, for general probing installed Linuxes to set their boot
and Swap file locations. at moment, re-installing any one of them upsets the others.
thanks for any advice. its all a mystery to me.
i just keep throwing bricks at it till something happens
