Help Help, Please, my screen is small and it wont Size up.. lol...

Specs:
Tried: Drake 7.0/7.1, RH6.0/.1/7.0, SuSe 6.1

Current O/S: Drake 7.1
OmniBook Xe3
Graphics: S3 Savage/IX
Network Card: Accon EN1207F
Xwindows: XFree 3.x

1st Problem: Screen Size...

Ok, I've found out I can use the SMI drivers for this laptop under Xfree 3.x, the only problem i have is getting it to go 800x600 or even highier, I'm stuck in 640x and can't get out, I've always had this problem on laptops. I've tried the good old, Alt+ctrl -/+ and I know to use the Keypad. Can someone please tell me anything else I should know, to get this to go full screen??


2nd Problem: Network card drivers?

I've tried using the Reltek drivers, with the accon card, somthing I found here on the forum, that didnt work, lol.. if anyone has gotten this builting network card to work, please let me know..

Thanks, for any help..

You could try editing your XF86Config file.

Here are parts of mine:

Section "Screen"
Driver "SVGA"
Device "Primary Card"
Monitor "Primary Monitor"
DefaultColorDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "800x600/60Hz" 640x480"
Virtual 0 0
EndSubSection

and on and on

Note: this is for a NeoMagic LCD display with a max res of 800x600

Distro is COL e2.4 This is the only distro that does justice to this display--without tweaking--all the others look like
shee-ite.
