X has a key combo alt-control-KEYPAD + alt-control-KEYPAD - Also you can edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ----------------------------------------- Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen1" Device "Card1" Monitor "Monitor1" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "800x600" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection ------------------------------------------- in the "Screen" section, the FIRST listed mode is used. So, you can remove the undesired mode or change the order. So, Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" can be edited to be Modes "800x600" "640x480" or Modes "800x600" "640x480" "1024x768" to start in 800x600. The latter definition means that the key combo can used to get to the 1024x768 mode. -Kev
