Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 2:1.4-3
Severity: minor
1. I tried to mail this to debian-x@lists but that apparently goes to
/dev/null. I need a bug number apparently. OK.
2. Bug: xorg.conf and xorg man pages say something like
It is possible to switch to the next mode with Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Plus
and to the previous mode with Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Minus.
OK, but laptops don't have keypads. Say what to do then.
Does the IBM Thinkpad r50e have a way to turn the "+" I see on the "/"
on? There also is a "-" on the ";" key. Mention the secret method on
the man page as an example of any way in the world to switch modes.
3. I cannot figure out
A. how to tell what current mode I am in, 1024x768 or 800x600. I
can guess but I don't know what command will tell me for sure.
Is this what mode I am in now?:
$ grep mode /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) intel(0): Output LVDS using initial mode 1024x768
B. I cannot get this xorg.conf to get me into 800x600 mode.
Please tell me what to do to make it start up in 800x600. Thank
you.

reopen 456955
Ctrl Alt +/- does not work anymore, we already have a nice bug report
(#457809) about this. Your bug report is mixed with other stuff, no need
to keep this mess open, we would just loose time trying to understand
it, the other one is enough.
Use xrandr to know which resolution you are using and switch to another one.
