Windows is able to do it (and no, I'm not interested going back to > Windows!). The magic piece I think you're missing (at least you didn't mention it) is xrandr. As long as your xorg.conf has both 1280x800 and 1280x1024 defined as available resolutions, xrandr ought to be able to switch between them easily. I did this all the time with my IBM T30's 1400x1050 LCD, my 1600x1200 CRT, and my 1024x768 projector. Worked perfectly as long as I remembered to change the resolution *before* suspending the laptop. -- Ben Steeves _ bcs@xxxxxxxxxx The ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) ben.steeves@xxxxxxxxx against HTML e-mail X GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 http://www.metacon.ca/bcs / \ Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves
