Your
computer uses a video adapter to generate the graphical images on
your monitor(s). Zeta automatically finds the need driver for your
graphic card, if it is supported.
In the Screen preferences you can set the amount of workspaces
your system should have, resolution, color depth, refresh rate and
adjustments for dual screens.

Workspaces
In Zeta you can run from 1 to 32 workspaces. By default Zeta is
set to 12 workspaces. For more about Workspaces... .
Setting the resolution, color depth and refresh rate
The changes you make here, can be for the current workspace or for
all workspaces.
Changes made here, doesn't require a reboot. After changes have
been made, you will have a few seconds to confirm that you want
to keep them (test period). If your screen doesn't support the screen
resolution, the system will automatically restore your previous
settings if you don't confirm the changes.
Recommened screen resolutions:
Monitor Size |
|
Resolution |
14" or less |
|
640 x 480 |

These are only recommondations, most screens are capable of running
higher resolutions.
Zeta lets you have different resolutions over the different workspaces,
this lets for instance web designers and image editors see instantly
how their work will look on different screen sizes (and resolutions).
Setting your screen's color depth to 8 bits, will get you about
4.000 different colors, 16 bits about 65.000 colors and 32 bits
millions colors. Most modern graphic cards supported in Zeta, will
have no problems running a 32 bits color depth.
Before changing the refresh rate, you should check what refreshes
it can manage. By setting a not supported refresh rate, you can
damage your screen. Many graphic cards can deliver higher refresh
rates, then the screen can deliver.
One or two screens?
Some ATI cards enables you to have two screens. The last settings
in the Screen preference, are for running dual screens.
