Two questions on my mind.

1. I may be getting a new monitor. In KDE, though, I noticed that the highest resolution you could set is 1024x768. I read that this is a lock placed by the xorg.conf, so I added a new resolution to the "Screen" section, rebooted, but then I was still limited to 1024x768. How can I allow larger resolutions?

2. I may look into a new hard drive. My 9gb drive has all my XP stuff on it, and I was wondering how difficult it would be to just image it over to a partition on another drive and be able to boot into it. Is there an easy way to do this, or would it just end up causing a lot of conflicts? It'd be nice if I could just copy it all over to a new partition and point my bootloader to it, but I have this feeling it'll be a bit more involved than that.
