Re: Newbie wants to change video resolution in X

Hi,

If you're using X version 4, edit the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. 
Toward the end of the file, you should see a section like this:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device "ATI Rage 128"
        Monitor "DELL P1110"
        DefaultDepth 24
        Subsection "Display"
                Depth 24
                Modes "1280x1024"
        EndSubSection
EndSection


This example runs X at 1280x1024 pixels.  Change the setting higher, and
restart X.  You can also include multiple modes, like:

Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"


Then when you're in X, crtl-alt-+ will cycle between all of the modes. 
(Use the + on your number keypad, not the one which is shift-=.)  If
you're running X version 3, the file to edit is /etc/X11/XF86Config. 
Good luck,



Hidong
