X resolution

["Warren Piece" <kenny_maekit hotmail com>]

just started using linux.  the good thing is that i haven't yet been able to 
get X to work.  i say this because it made me figure out a pile of stuff in 
the command prompt.  but, the thing is that i would like to get X to work.  
i have tried all of the aforementioned methods of configuring X, but i end 
up with the same result each time...the resolution is set such that i can't 
see but half of the desktop.  even though i have set up different monitors, 
picked different synch rates, and picked different resolutions, nothings 
seems to change.  i can always just see a very small portion of the desktop.
i am using a 19" mag monitor that was set to 1280x1024 in windows.  thanks.
