Play around with the GUI that appears when you type in:

Xconfigurator --expert

You can also edit /etc/lilo.conf and add the following line: vga=773 after
default=linux...(NOTE: vga=773 will drive the display at 1024x768x8, use
vga=771 for
800x600x8, use vga=769 for 640x480x8)

Sincerely,

Hi all,

I am new to the Linux community, and have recently installed RH 6.2 on a
test machine for the first time.
I was impressed how easy the installation process was. I used the KDE
workstation installation, figured GUI would help while I learn. My problem
right now is that I am using a 14in monitor and the resolution is set to
640x480 and many of the windows are to large for the screen. So my question
is how do I change the resolution. Also the installation process didn't
pick
up my Sound Blaster Pro, how do I add it.

Any help would be appreciated.
I look forward to meeting all of you at the meetings, however it's looking
like August is the first one I'll be able to attend.

Thanks
Stuart
