My moniter was working right on 600x800 display but yesterday i changed the resolution to 1024x768 and it start displaying lines on my screen. I can't saw anything so i can login and change the resolution from X-window. So plz tell me that how i can change the resolution of my Gnome X-window from cmd shell.

Edit the X configuration file in /etc/X11. Goto the section "Screen" and remove every "1024x768".

Code:

modes     "1024x768" "800x600"

becomes

Code:

modes     "800x600"

Switch back to X (<ctrl><alt><F7>) and restart X with the combination <ctrl><alt><backspace>.

On RH it's probably something like XFree86-Config or so. And first make a backup of the X configuration file.

PS you should be able to cycle through the different resolutions using <ctrl><alt><-> and <ctrl><alt><+>
