Depending on your exact make of monitor (which you don't say), it 
should be easy to change the resolution after you have Yellow Dog 
installed. If you are using KDE as your desktop environment, look under 
the "K" menu (actually, it has a yellow dog in it), and there are all 
sorts of configuration options (some say too many :-) ). Your maximum 
color depth will likely be "Thousands." If you are unable to fix that 
to your liking, try the directions at:

If *that* doesn't work, look to:

...which will give you kernel arguments to enter in the little box in 
the BootX Control Panel (in the Macintosh environment).

Good luck!

Best wishes,
Clint
