Subject: Changing Resolution from the Panel |
Comment: I'm using Redhat "SkipJack" BETA, and I was wondering if there is any type of utility that sits in the panel that can change your Screen Resolution Right now, I'm using something called gVid, but I still can't get my resolution to anything other than 1280 x 1024, i'd like 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 if at all possible :)

Reply: (edit)I'd like to know how to change res also. I've done it twice. Once very easily but forget where I was/went to do it. I just re-installed Mandrake and it is so little I can't read it. Also the fonts in the Terminal Windows is sometimes unreadable even as I increase the resolution. When some of these young men start having reading problems that hit around 45 they will understand.

Reply: (edit)Log in as root and type Xconfigurator in a terminal-window. There you could change a lot of parameters for your monitor, including resolution

Reply: (edit)Is there anyway to change it WITHOUT touching the the rest of the file...everytime I run Xconfigurator or XF86free I end up messing up something so it'll say "No Screens Found" or "No Mode Found" Thanks Again, Aaron

Reply: (edit)You can cycle through various video resolutions while running in an X window session by pressing the Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Plus and Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-minus keys.
