Re: Changing monitor resolution after installng



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
[...]
SubSection "Display"
    Depth        24
    Modes        "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

I should probably add that after saving, you'll need to log out and restart X by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.
