Login as root and run:-

sax2 -l

Thats a small "L", this will start sax2 in "l"ow res 640x480@60Hz,
form
there you should be able to change the refresh, for LCD`s you only
need
60Hz.

I couldn't find the sax2 executable from the prompt...not in sbin or
bin.
Thanks.

That's because it's usually in:

/usr/X11R6/bin/

Are you sure you have it installed? Try:

rpm -q sax2

to check whether it's installed, or not . . .

Every now and then I get a msg that, when I try to read it, it says
'Message unreadable'. I've usually chalked this up to the OP
cancelling
it, but I've seen it on some of my responses, as well.

I think it's down to some node not passing it on the path from source
to
destination, or a problem in the headers that the newsreader (I'm
using
bleeding-edge Sylpheed-Claws and sometimes see strange things) chokeson. My best SWAG, anyway . . . :-)

BTW, I quoted his full reply since it was so short.
