I'm getting confused.  My .xserverrc says "-screen 1024x768x32", so I assume that is the resolution.  The lilo.conf says "vga=791", once again should be the high resolution.  Here's the problem.  When I make an Icon, the highest coordinates are 800x600.  When I make a new image under Xpaint, and put the size at 800x600, it appears to be the size of the screen (give or take, but definately not 1024x768).  

So... What is it, and how do I make it what I want?

BTW I'm using a Compaq Armada E500 and a HD Install.

Thanks

The command xres or xresolution would typically return the resolution, but i don't see it in DSL.

xsetup.sh will allow you to set the resolution.

Even when I set the resolution using xsetup.sh, it still acts like it is in 800x600.  I havent tried if I go lower resolution.

What X server are you using?

Lower seems to work, it just wont go higher.  I'm assuming the highest it will go is 800x600 (reasonable considering the vintage).  If that is the case, why does it say it goes up to 1024x768?

I'm using the default X server.  How would I know the specifics?
