Ok I firgure out how to change screen resulotions using Ctrl+Alt -/+. My problem is that when I change to 800x600 I get a Virtual Screen which I don't like. I'm using Mandrake and every time I change the resulotionusing the Mandrake Control Center I have to edit the XF86Config-4 file to reenble the OpenGL drivers for my GF2 GTS. So I'm glad I found the standered way...

So how do I fix the Virtual Screen problem? Heroes of Might and Magic is at 800x600 and I can't get it to play at full screen unless I'm root, and of course I don't want to do that.

You can try editing XF86Config-4 and change the virtual lines to virtual 0 0.

thanks, I'll try this. I did edit my XF86Config-4 file to have Virtual 800 600 but all hat did is locked me to 800x600.

Ill try this and see if it works
