Display resolution too low; no higher setting available...


New install PCLinuxOS, and the max resolution setting is 1024 x 768 (too low).

What do I need to change to reset the options? xorg.conf file??? Where's that?

Thanks...

It would help if you told us what hardware you were using.

There are several methods of changing your resolution, but it will depend on what options your hardware gives you. Some laptops may only do 1024x768.....

I found screen/display settings in 'Admin Center'.

Thanks!
