Here's how I do it. su to the root user, and edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. Locate the following section (it may differ for your current setup): Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "Generic Video Card" Monitor "Generic Monitor" DefaultDepth 24
[...]
I should probably add that after saving, you'll need to log out and restart X by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection
