	Hmmm...  If you installed Slackware 2.5 off of the April 1996
InforMagic CD Rom, I would say you definitly have problems!  The April 1996
InfoMagic Linux Developers Resource CD had Slackware 3.0 on it.  Did you
maybe read that 2.5 off of the little "Quickstart" booklet?  That's not
the Slackware Version, just the booklet version.

	That's funny.  They should work just fine right out of da box...

	Go into /etc/XF86Config X11 configuration file and look for the
"screen" sections.  Under the "display" subsections you will find some
settings for Virtual.  Typically, what you have is "Virtual 800 600"
defined in a display size of 640x480.  Just change the Virtual size to
match your display size (or remove the Virtual line).
