That’s two calls to add the corresponding modes and two calls to set these modes for each of the monitors, in total four lines in an autostart script in your Gnome session. > STFW I've posts about xrandr, but I'd prefer to get this working via > CMOS settings, motherboard/ monitor connections, xorg.conf, and > gnome-display-properties. I'll play with xrandr in any case. gnome-display-properties is mostly a front end to xrandr from what I can tell, but it also allows you to add new modes (though you obviously should make sure that your monitors support them). I think CMOS settings mostly apply to the BIOS, GRUB and maybe boot, but I have to admit I never really understood how the Linux kernel decides where to show its virtual terminals. Anyway, I fear I can’t really help you with CMOS and boot, and there are certainly people who are more knowledgeable about xorg.conf on this list. :) Best regards, Claudius -- Forgive and forget. -- Cervantes http://chubig.net telnet nightfall.org 4242
