One more thing, you can back out that XRandR vs XVidMode fix in your user.reg file, it works fine with XRandR if you set your resolution manually like this.[/quote] Thanks for that! IMO, it's still worth noting the XVidMode option, because I like the option to have my resolutions detected, and in general prefer the XVidMode switcher. Good to have other op
