Sorry, I thought I had replied to this...
The output to the first two commands is below. I didn't know about
xrandr and using it to resize. When I tried the command above
involving --mode, I got a usage message but that's it. I'll be losing
access to this machine in a few days (new job), so I won't be able to
help with tings for much longer.
