i am currently dual booting mandrake 8.0 and win98se...
problem is that in linux my resolution is set to 800x600 and it won't let me change it to 1024x768 which is what windows is set to...

can anyone tell me how to fix this???

also, web pages are unreadable unless i zoom in several times.

is this normal??

thanks

Use the Mandrake Control centre, the icon should be on your desktop, from there you can change your resolution, As for thre fonts, if you are using konqueror, go to preferences and change the font.
