Unhappy Resolution issue with DreamLinux


I have two computers using Dreamlinux MME2.2 . They both were recently updated. One offers a menu of resolutions I would like to set my monitor at. This is all fine and stuff. The other one does not offer this. The problem is I am using that machine on my plasma screen to watch shows. The best resolution is 800X600 so I can read the screen.

After the upgrade Xorgs Icons and everything stayed the same. But the tex on the screen is minute. We are talking dots. I can not read anything. Some how I think this an issue with the standard text sixe but I can not really seem to get my resolution to look right.


Any ideas of something I could change or do? I have searched the net reading every thing I could find. And I won't be able to print anything to this forum because I can not really read it on that screen. I can squint and read things in text mode.

Well... use a different monitor while this is to be fixed. Or a live distro.
If you cannot read the screen, nothing can be done.

Usually you would go check the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to make sure the resolutions and scan rates are correct.
