you can configure X yourself to see if you can get better resolution.

you have to edit xorg.conf (it's usually fund in /etc/X11/). In the file you already have configuration settings for 1024x768. so use this as a schema and write additional configuration for your monitor. It's recommended to install graphic drivers first if they aren't a part of the kernel (if you're using nVidia cards, you have to install the driver first!). Once you have configured your xorg.conf run krandrtray and select the resolution and refresh rate you want.

And have fun! :D

I have been trying to install an Nvidia driver for my Nvidia card I get the Error message that I have X server running, please exit and try again.

I'm using Xandros V3. Can anybody tell me how to Exit the X server?

I need the latest Nvidia driver because Xandros versions don't have screen brightness, contrast and gamma controls and with this big Samsung monitor I need them.

Help !!

Thanks

Peter
