I am running linux mandrake on my laptop PC, but in xwindows, I can only get
a 640x480 display surrounded by a black border. Is there a file where the
current resolution is kept?
Similar to the way the LILO setting is located in the file: /etc/lilo.conf
Is there a similar file that holds the screen resolution?

thanks
