Re: How do you change the resolution in gnome?

[Lionel Lecoq <lionel_lecoq yahoo com>]

This is an X question...
If you have more than one resolution in your config file (/etc/X11/XF86Config if you are using
3.3.6 or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 if you are using 4.0.1) then you can toggle between resolutions by
pressing Ctrl Alt numeric pad + (increase) and Ctrl Alt numeric pad - (decrease)
If you have only one resolution then hack the file corresponding to your X version:
version 4 (XF86Config-4) you would find the screen section and adapt the following lines
Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device "my graphic card" # the identifier of your device
	Monitor "my monitor" # the identifier of your monitor
	DefaultDepth 16
	Subsection "Display"
		Depth 16
		Modes "800x600" # or whatever resolution you want and your card can give you...
	EndSubSection
EndSection

The screen section for 3.3.6 is pretty similar you can adapt the example without problem... 

Note: if your card was not recognised and you are using the generic VGA device then post on
newbie XFree86 org specifying card, monitor and posting your XF86Config resp XF86Config-4
