Screen resolution
 
How can I change the screen resolution? I'm using RH7.3 if that makes a difference...

Thanks, Walter.

Have you tried ctl-alt + or ctl-alt - ?

In Slack you have to edit
/etc/X11/XF86Config

look for the 'screen' section and for the default depth you have chosen
put the resolution you want first on the line in qoutes> such as

this is how mine looks >


Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "nvidia"
Monitor "nec"
DefaultDepth 24

Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection

my default depth is 24 so in the '24 section' I have 1024x768 as my resolution.

I think in Redhat you edit the XF86Config-4 file instead

Good Luck
