Hi!

Edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/XF86Config (if you are using the old DeadRat as your profile says..). The files is quite self-explanatory. Just edit and save with the resolution you wish. You'll need to restart the X server...

it doesn't work

thanks for your reply but i have tried it and no change happened. This is a part of /etc/X11/xorg.conf in my fedora :
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

What should that part be? Thanks lot
