By whatever choice I made while installing I only have a 640x480 screen size. While reading text is easy getting to the Ok and Cancel buttons are quite a task. How do I change the screen resolution in SuSE 8.2? The CTRL + ALT -/+ doesnt work. Thanks WR

Speaking of screen resolution and such, last night, I installed 8.2 on my moms system (an slightly older model Aptiva, ~3 years old maybe, P-3 667MHz or something like that), alongside her windoze partition. The install went quite well, and I decided to use 800x600 resolution at first, but when I started to open a few apps, noticed that it was hard to see the 'close' or 'apply' buttons and such at the bottom right-hand side of some of them, so I opened up SaX2 and set the resolution to 1024x768. This had the ill affect of making the cursor 'invisible'. I could move it around and see when it came on top of a button or something in a menu, but the cursor itself could not be seen. I tried to change the mouse (YaST2 on installation caught it as an M$ intelli mouse ps-aux (?)), but it made no difference, it remained invisible. Once I set the resolution back to 800x600, the cursor is back visible. Anyone else had this problem or know a quick fix? I have to bring my external modem over to her house to hook up to her system so I can get the updates and 3D drivers, but that won't be for at least a few days. Maybe that's all it needs, is the updates and/or the nvidia drivers? John - -- I needed fresh bugs for my SuSE gecko, and Linux penguin. So I went out and caught this huge ugly blue and red and green and yellow butterfly. They won't need fresh food for 3 months now. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+7ZcNH5oDXyLKXKQRAulNAJ4nZ7JdwX+uSOnfMMK7pFQTcHUyOwCcC5s5 Co2cD3/vvmNC/gx6SeF3W7Q= =SAk8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Are these for dynamic change or fixed change?
As I remember RH had the ability to change the screen size allowing you
to have a virtual screen into which you could move open windows etc.
Does Suse have this feature?

I'm using fvwm2, (so I can't comment on KDE) and I can have as many "virtual screens" as I want. I have 10 at the moment. I have a little rectangle in the upper right corner, which is partitioned into 10 segments. Click on each one for a different screen, and I can drag apps from one screen to another. I'm sure most of the window managers have this feature. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation

I presume from you post you mean one big virtual screen instead of virtual desktops. That is an X function and can be controlled with the "Virtual" directive in the screen section of /etc/X11/XF86Config.
