Re: How set desktop/resolution for xwindows?
The resolutions your X server supports and will run with are set in the
/etc/X11/XF86Config file.
In a "normal" configuration...
To change resolutions "on the fly", the three key command:
CTRL-ALT-+ (AND YOU HAVE TO USE THE NUMBERPAD'S PLUS KEY)
Will cycle through the resolutions set up in the above file.
Hopefully this is what you were looking for?
