This is my screen section in XF86Config (starts below the next paragraph). I have added comments behind the lines that will help you understand how the commands work for the X-server config file. Linux is not easy, steep learning curve. The big difference is that It's all developed by people and companies that are concerned with improving the state of technology without becoming an overbloated, overmarketed financial vacuum cleaner Linux is fastly becoming a standard by which people that want a reliable and secure system without having to pay through the nose. If you believe the Mr. Gates' OS is more to you liking then I certainly recommend using what you comfortable with. If you interested in being the master of your own system (this takes time) then run a dual boot system until you can make the switch (that's what I'm doing). Either way I strongly recommend that you consider very very hard before doing something like upgrading to XP or any of the new MS products - not unless you like to rent your software and don't care who knows about your personal information (and I mean personal info). Just my 2 cents - Look at the lines below. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Too late.
Due to my lack of Linux/Unix skill/experience, I fucked up X Server. Now all I get it text.
I'm not good enough to troubleshoot it, so I'll just have to re-install SuSE. BTW, what do I check in /etc/XF86/Config...not much help...pretty obsecure to me...Maybe I'll stick to using Widnows 2000, at least that works the way Bill wanted it to for me.

How do I know at what resolution my screen is set for?
And how do I adjust it? It needs some help.
