I have red hat 5.2 installed. All went fine and all seems to work with
exception of one thing.. My screen is way oversized and can get it at a
smaller resolution. I think the resolution is at 320 range..I have already
went through the xf86config stuff and no good.. This is way to big and i
would love to get at least 800X600.. My video car is a Guillemot with a
Vodoo Banshee chipset, 16MB and so on. Is a great card in windows but what
gives with Linux? Any help is appreciated. I just dont want to give up on it
till i have too.. Thanks cameron
