X problems on RH7
 

I again and thanks for getting me here...

So, I've updated from RH 6.3 to version 7 recently, on my old PC, and I'm having a small problem with X.

My graphic board is an S3 Trio 32, and X apparetly only runs on 640x480 mode, and mostly all the windows, in graphic mode, are too big for the screen.

I´d like to change the resolution to 800x600, so the windows fit the screen, but on Xf86config I seem to be unable to achive that.

What's the best way to do it, or, if the board really can´t manage it, to make the windows fit the screen.

I´m really, really new at this (a week ol linux user), and I couldn´t find any help on the man and faqs that came with the destribution.

Please, do help...

If you don't have a handy GUI app to configure your X for you, you need to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config.

The appropriate man page is for XF86Config. Is that the one you read?

Also how about the Linux Documentation Project Linux-HOWTO's XFree86-HOWTO and XFree86-Video-Timings-HOWTO. These may be on your disto, if not, they can be found at:
