With all of the configuration options for XF86 I am having trouble deciding which is the "best" way to change the default resolution when I run startx. What with XF86Config, startx, .xinitrc, .Xresources, etc. there are a lot of places to change things. What I want to do is make the 800x600 8 bit color the default when I start X. I have experimented with CTL-ALT-<Keypad +> and found that to be the most pleasing to the eye. The system currently comes up in an 1152x864 mode and I am not sure how to tell what depth it is running. I want to keep the two higher screen resolutions available via CTL-ALT-<Keypad +/->, but want it to start up in 800x600. Also, anyone know how to speed up the mouse a little? It's a PS/2 and needs a little acceleration in XF86. Thanks in advance. - Kenp.
