Re: Screen Resolution
If using Gnome or KDE you can go to START HERE, SETTING, SCREEN RESOLUTION
and change resolution from there, similar to the way windows works.
Otherwise,
Check your /etc/X11/XFree86-4 file
Look for a line similar to:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "ATI Graphics Adapter"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
#Option "backingstore"
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
Endsection
Change the modes line to match the one/many resolutions
you wish to have and work on your system. The first mode
"1280x1024" will be the default X will start with. You can
change to the others with CTL-ALT-+.
