Is there any way to adjust screen resolution to 1024x600?

Thats is the screen size for my Toshiba Portege 320CT laptop.

I am new at Linux, so please have mercy...  :O

Yes, but 1024x600 is not a standard option, and so not on the menu. You'll probably need to hdinstall DSL to get that resolution.

I am having a similar issue. I HD installed DSL on my old HP OmniBook 2100. I am able to use everything properly except the resolution DSL defaults to is greater than my screen size and I end up missing the left and bottom parts of my screen. If I switch to an external CRT everything looks great. Any ideas? New to using GUI in unix systems.

You'll need to edit the config files for the X server your using to set the exact resolution you need, but I'm not sure exactly how you would do it, sorry.
