Halo dudes..

I open my pc today and i realized that the resolution of my screen was changed . The icons and the toolbars are too big and i don't know why..

I run as root the xorgsetup script and follow the questions , reboot my pc and nothing changed..

Have you any idea on what happening ? Can i change again the resolution of my screen ?

Thanks in advance..

add something similar to this to the monitor section of xorg.conf


#UseModes "Modes0" #monitor0usemodes
Option "PreferredMode" "1024x768"

Need more information when asking about things like this. Slack 12.2, right? Are you using KDE or another window manager? Which graphics card? Have you tried taking a look in xorg.conf yourself without the config utility?

But if it happened after you were messing around inside the case, maybe something is busted?

slackware 12.2
and i have an onboard card . My motherboard is asus a8vmx .

And yes.. i see it a little the xorg.conf file...

:s

Here is the /home/me/xorg.conf file :

http://pastebin.com/f1df25c36

I add here ^
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "640x480" "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
the 1024x768 but nothing change...:s
and here is the /etc/X11/xorg.conf

When looking through xorg.conf look for the #Screens Section . Check what the Default Depth is set to (24 or something) and below that there should be something like:

Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection

Of course make sure the desired resolution is the first size that appears after "Modes".

And are you using KDE? If so go to system settings, computer admin, display and check the size setting there. I'm using KDE4 though so yours might be in a diff. place, just poke around.

EDIT: There it is there. When you set the sizes for "Modes", the size you want should appear FIRST, because X11 will default to that.

Hmm look at this :

here is the screen section of my /home/me/xorg.conf file :

I have this and doesn't works..

In menu --> Settings -->Peripherals --> display , it has only 800x600 and 640x480

Yes i use kde

Try forgetting about the $HOME/xorg.conf and check /etc/X11/xorg.conf instead

this what my xorg looks like for the section I modified and it works:
Section "Monitor"
