Then you can type in the desired This is not correct. VESA did not define 1600x1200 as part of its DVT standard. And starting with VBE 2.0, VESA is not going to define new mode ID's. Thus the mode ID that you get for 1600x1200 may be unique only for your particular hardware/Video BIOS. You may use X's 'vesa' driver to get a list of modes that your BIOS supports. It will be written to /var/log/X*.0.log. Tony
