Dear All,

Newbie question:

I've selected all the available colour and res's on RH 6.1 setup (X
configurator). I think it's defaulting to 1280x1024.

So now I can scroll through the options by doing the CTRL+ALT+NUM+ or
NUM- thing. But, while this cranks the res up or down accordingly, the
relative display size doesn't change; ie, the desktop size gets bigger
than the physical screen size. So if I change to the next res down,
things get bigger, but I have to move the mouse pointer to the edge of
the screen and the display tracks to the edge of that desktop.

This is a nuisance, and downright silly. Why doesn't the thing resize to
match the display area, and more importantly, how do I tell it to? I
haven't found anything in the docs yet.

Also, what about colour? How do I change from 16 bit to 32 bit and back,
etc. How do I know what the current settings are? (That little monitor
icon in my Win98 system tray is handy!)

Please help, 'cos I'm currently stuck at very high resolution.

Running RH 6.1 i686
