You change the screen resolutionby running Xconfigurator, unless ctrl-alt-+ works..!
If all fails, run xf86config (text config tool for X), so that you won't be worrying about reaching to OK button. Make a backup of your /etc/XF86Config so that if something goes wrong you can restore the unpleasant but working! configuration..:) Murat.

Reply: (edit)Thanks Murat
Tried XF86Config and buggered it up, just reinstalled no prob. and tried ctrl,alt,+ again no result then tried xconfigurator it worked like magic. Trouble now is to configure the net, i have a booklet that came with the RH disk but it is as useful as a hip pocket in underpants
thanks again mate
