|
><P
|
|
> On desktop keyboards the numeric keypad is usually separated from
|
|
the character set, but laptops don't have a separated numeric keypad.
|
|
There are different ways to emulate one,
|
|
e.g. with the <B
|
|
CLASS="command"
|
|
>Fn</B
|
|
> key or with <B
|
|
CLASS="command"
|
|
>NUM-LOCK</B
|
|
>
|
|
key. Also external numeric keyboards which connect
|
|
to the PS/2 port (or USB, RS232) are available.
|
|
</P
|
|
><P
|
|
> As described above, the numeric keyboard has to be used
|
|
if you want to change the X11 resolution by typing
|
|
<B
|
|
CLASS="command"
|
|
><CTL><ALT><+></B
|
|
> or
|
|
<B
|
|
CLASS="command"
|
|
><CTL><ALT><-></B
|
|
>.
|
|
If this doesn't work or is too complicated, you may use
|
|
<A
|
|
HREF="http://www.dakotacom.net/~donut/programs/gvidm.html"
|
|
TARGET="_top"
|
|
>gvidm</A
|
|
>
|
|
Running <B
|
|
CLASS="command"
|
|
>gvidm</B
|
|
> will pop up a list of available modes and allows the user
|
|
to select one if desired. This makes it perfect for running from an
|
|
application menu or a hotkey, so you don't have to use ram for an applet
|
|
constantly running. If you are running dual or multi-head displays, it
|
|
will give you a list of screens so you can select the appropriate one.
|
|
Also you may use <B
|
|
CLASS="command"
|
|
>xvidtune [-next | -prev ]</B
|
|
>. To check
|
|
the current resolution you may use <B
|
|
CLASS="command"
|
|
>xwininfo -root</B
|
|
>,
|
|
if <B
|
|
CLASS="command"
|
|
>xvidtune</B
|
|
> is not at hand.
