How may I get back 1024x768 screen resolution

[S.W. Bobcat]

This *should* be easy to fix as I've done it a nimber of times. Right now 
I'm in FC4 but have installed FC5 (too buggy for my taste) the the solution 
is as follows:

Go to: System Settings (or equivalent if changed in FC5) --> Display  Enter 
your root passwaord.

You should get a 3-tab folder with Settings, Hardware, and Dual head

Under Settings you will find the Resolutions and Number of Colors *BUT*
before you set these perameters you need to go to the *HARDWARE* tab and set 
  1) your Monitor type 2) your video card type, once you select these two 
thing go back to settings and then select the resoltion you want and the 
number of colors.
