I read, in xvesa it's set and can't be changed, you would have to install XFree86 to do that.

XFree86 is an alternative X server to the tiny one included with DSL. The X server allows you to run graphical applications in unix-like systems.

for installing XFree86 on DSL
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....sl.info
The actual XFree86.dsl package is in this same directory as the info file, or can be downloaded and installed through the MyDSL system.

Guys thank you very much for your help,but this exceeds my abilities ;-(((
I just wanted to reincarnate an old celeron 366/128Mb/3 Gb. Suse 9.1 worked well, but was tooooo slow. I would use this machine for internet(cable 128/64k) only.
Any idea ? Just don´t send me to microsoft back :angry:

Tnx Jan
