Thanks to all those who responded. My problem was I didn't know how to
change the screen resolution on one of our machines. Lots of people
responded and the answers were divided into one of two solutions.
The first solution (which I used) was to test which resolution worked for
you best by stopping X (/sbin/init.d/xlogin stop) and restarting it at a
command line with the command line options. (/usr/bin/X11/X -screen0
1600x1200) until you find a combination that you like.
You can then set this in the Xconfig start up file
(/etc/dt/config/Xservers). There should be a line that looks something
like ":0 Local local_at_console /usr/bin/X11/X :0" Any switches go after
the :0 at the end. I put in ":0 Local local_at_console /usr/bin/X11/X :0
-screen0 1600x1200" which worked for me.
The other common solution was to look the back of the graphics
cards. Some of them have a rotary switch, but mine didn't :}
Thanks again.
Cheers,
Ryan.
