Ok guys prime example of nubness here on my part *slaps wrists*

Just hooked up new monitor to my Red Hat ES 3, however i set the res too high for the monitor so unable to see anything as expected! I was wondering if there was anyway to set the res via terminal / putty access in order for gnome to load at the correct res when i restart the machine.

Any and all help much appreciated.

Edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file near the bottom of the script.

Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "800x600" <--- put res. you want as default first
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection

If you are having trouble logging in because of the resolution problem, try single user mode for editing your xorg.conf file.
