change resolution
 

hey guys

i have just installed slackware

now in redhat there was a little button that says change resolution :)

but now that i have moved on to Slackware

how do i change the resolution?

thanks guys

Press ctrl+alt and cycle the resolution with + or -.

cool thanks

unfortunraly,before your response, i changed my x11config file and i added 1280x 1024 and now when i boot up linux it stops and says

Starting up X11 session manager....

and it just stays there, so basically i just screwed myself :)

okey dokey i reinstalled linux

i did the 'ctrl' + 'alt' + '+/-'

but it seems to only go on 3 diff resolutions which are very low

and i know my vid card can do more

any suggestions?
thanks

did you reinstall slackware? if so have you run xf86config? slackware loads up a generic vesa driver at install. you have to run the configuration to get the specific drivers and settings for youe video. hope that helps.
good luck.
