That would be a plus! Though both of my monitors have a "native" resolution of 1280x1024@60Hz. I guess changing to 1280x960@60Hz wouldn't cause any issues? I have always used CRTs up till now. I actually would like to trade my monitor in for a good old 19" short-neck CRT. I think graphics were always more crisp on CRTs. Jim -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
