Could someone please help me. I'm only very new to Linux and I'm running Fedora Core 3. My system is a 2500+ amd-512 mb's ram with a tnt2 graphic card. Heres the problem. I run my screen at 800x600 in size and when I try to add things in certain programs I can't because I've run out of screen space. How can I resize the window I'm working in to get to the Cancel OK buttons etc. Thanks for all the help and I apologize if this is the wrong group etc.

Do you still have the Vert. and Horiz. refresh rates for the monitor

  Regards   david

( being in Mudgee I guess you will have a wine for Austalia day ;-)   )

No I don't have them. Its a Viewmaster 17 inch.

You may be able to find specs for the monitor on the manufacturer's website or elsewhere through Google.

I think it's very *stupid* of FC or Linux to require end users to manually speicy the H/V refresh rates. On Windows, you never need to do that. I think there must be a *safe* default rates for all monitors. Linux developers perhaps don't know that.
