(You will find it in the Screen section) SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection So in the line above (Modes), change it so that "1024x768" is the default instead of "1280x1024". This way it will default to the correct screen settings when you reboot. Wolf -- Open WebMail Project (http://openwebmail.org)
