[KLUG Members] XFree 4.1.0 Headaches

[Andy]

OK.. I get X to load now my problem is it only loads
in 480X375 (Which on my laptops 12 inch screen hurts
my eyes) and when I exit out of X it messes up the
text display all together, I get Solid block asci
characters instead of actual text so I have to
shutdown -r everytime I log out of X to try and do
something to fix it. Any suggestions?? I'm thinking of
just going back to RH6.1 since that worked but I would
really like something a little newer on my system to
test before I put it on my workstation/server machine.
