Dear Friends,
Iam very happy to introduce myself. Working as a
system adnminstrator for Windows NT. P assed MCSE
last year. From a month i got the interst in Linux.
Installed the KDE & Gnome, as iam a windows buff. But
couldn't get the 640*480 resoulation. I have a SIS
6215 c card. I am thankful to the Guy who asked about
this & to the answered gem.
