RE: X Prob in Resolution?

[Jamin Collins <JaminC adapt-tele com>]

Easiest way that I have found for this is to modify "/etc/X11/XF86Config"
with a text editor such as "pico" and then near the bottom of the file you
will find an entry for your monitor and a line listing valid modes.  X takes
the first mode that it finds in this list with a match.  By default the list
goes from small resolutions to large.  Thus 640x480 is the first one it
finds.  I suggest removing all resolutions but the one(s) you wish to use.

I did a custom install of 6.2 (Printer support, X, GNOME, Networked
workstation, that's it).  No matter what I tell the X configurator, it
will only do 640x480.  Is there a place I can "force" the X server to
start at 1024x768?  The monitor and PC were both doing this fine under
Win95.  Help?
