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,
