I answered my question about networking - the file I was looking for was /etc/modules.conf, if anyone else found themselves wondering.... (I'm running RH 7.2, btw) Now, I have to reduce my screensize for connection to an external monitor and when I switch my local screen to 800x600 from 1024x768 I still have the virtual screen size...which means I have to scroll to see the whole desktop. (Personally, I dislike that, although I know some who actually like it...to each his own). I went' thru the XF86Config file, and find no reference to the virtual desk (as I had expected). Can anyone tell me how to change that setting? I suppose I could re-run Xconfigurator and just select the 800x600 size as default, but I really want to know where these config files are instead of always relying on a utility to do it for me. Thanks in advance... rb __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Sports - live college hoops coverage http://sports.yahoo.com/
