Hi Urs,

    Yes I used 915resolution (installed via yum install 915resolution)

yum list 915resolution gives me this result.
Installed Packages
915resolution.i386                       0.5.2-2.el4.rf         installed

The machine is at CERN so I am using slc4.7 which is a variant of SL4.7

When I tried to install 915resolution as a service via
  /sbin/chkconfig 915resolution on

I get this result:

error reading information on service 915resolution: No such file or directory

What I have done as a work around is to change /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit  and added these lines:

# Hack at end for using 915resolution
echo "overriding VESA BIOS resolutions"
/usr/sbin/915resolution 3a 1440 900

Of course, if initscripts package changes I have remember what I have done and change the
file again.

   Thanks again for your help.

   Cheers,

Doug B
