From: Thufir <hawat thufir gmail com> Subject: screen resolution Newsgroups: gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general I'm just starting to research screen resolution. I want to safely increase my screen resolution, but first need to make notes on how to recover, via the fedora rescue CD, in the event things go wrong. At this point I'm just thinking aloud, but please do chime in! :)
