Both things seem to be no particular problem in X11, however, I cannot find advices for the normal console. And: does anybody know what vertical and horizontal refresh rates my VMWare display have? According to the user handbook I need to specify this information in the X11 config file -- the current X11 display does not look very sharp. Thanks for help *S* -- Sascha Vieweg, saschaview@gmail.com
