194349 2003-11-24 22:20:00 I just installed mandrake 9.0 done the big jump and finally scraped windows.
first hurdle how do i change the screen resolution from 800 by 600 to 1024 by 768 in kde ?
i set it up wrong and can only get 800 by 600 and 640 by 480.
any help greatly appreciated.
thank you

194350 2003-11-25 03:54:00 There's a few ways you can do that.

You can manually edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config file (Hardest option)

KDE may have an option to do it from within the Control Center, but I use GNOME so wouldnt know sorry.

The next is using Mandrake config tools, I think it's called harddrake, but Im not 100% sure having never really used MDK.

Try and use harddrake, it'd be easiest.

Hope this helps


Chill.

I dont think its fair that you throw them into a category of their own just coz of the OS that Joe Bloggs uses... ;-)
