When I install Xfree86, I had it set up for SVGA in 16bps. I thought I set it up where there was a choice whether to go into 1078 mode or 640 mode. But when I tried to set it up so my wife could go in 640 mode and me in 1078 mode, it still goes into the higher resolution. Is there a way to change the resolution depending on the user's personal configuration?
