How do I change my display settings on Fedora 8 using the Teminal. I set my monitor setting way to low and now I cant find the toolbar. So if someone will explain how that would be great. Also, I am new to Fedora and am not familiar with the terminal so be as descriptive as possible.

su -
vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf
press i to edit, change the resolution, and press esc, then :wq! to exit
the resolution section is were it lists the displays.
