Screen size in GNOME?
Hello.
Recently I found I couldn't log in into GNOME. I found the reason. In
XF86Config-4 I have defined resolutions:
1024x768, 1280x1024, 800x600, 800x600PAL (this is for my VooDoo 3 TV-Out)
and Virtual Screen size:
1280x1024
In GNOME I have set the screen size 1024x768 - I have 17" monitor and
1280x1024 is too much, it is good as virtual. But. I have to put 1280x1024
in allowed resolutions, in other case xrandr don't want to work. (I need
xrandr to switch into 800x600PAL, to have tv-out).
Then I cannot login into GNOME. I have to in login screen (gdm) change
resolution to 1280x1024 (Ctrl-Alt-+), login, and then Ctrl-Alt-- to get
back into my favourite one.
Any hint what can I do?
Second thing:
Is there some GUI to switch resolution (just in the way like
Ctrl-Alt-[+/-] does) in deb package, preferably?
And third:
Is it possible to change virt.screen size without restarting X? If so, is
some deb package with "nice gui" for this?
greetings,
