RE: DOOM error

[Ravi Pratap M <ravi_hyper@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rajesh !

	If you want to run your X windows in 1024x768 resolution, you can't do it 
by simply changing the config file !

	You have to install the XFree86 SVGA server for your card - in this case 
Sis 6215 - and then configure your X server by running XFree86Setup. I'm 
sure you can do the rest !


	Enjoy !!

Ravi
