Have you tried something along the lines of

Code:
SubSection "Display"
	Viewport   0 0
	Depth     24
        Modes     "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
Obviously, replacing the 1280x1024 with whatever the native resolution of you screen is.

I've never had much success with the 'change resolution' options within the desktop environments themselves.

No I haven't but I shall give it a try thanks. Does that "Display" subsection go within the "Monitor" section?
Thank you again,

mute

edit: oops no, I just add mode lines under each of the depth lines within "Screen"?

Yep, though normally only the 24bit section ever gets used.

Cheers for that!
I *think* it's worked. Both root and normal users now have the same res! Although now i need to determine if it's using the correct resolution
Looks okay though.

Thanks again GazL and everyone else,
