How you change the resolution depends on your distribution, which is it?

Code:
mingdao@paul:Sat Jan 31 19:04:18~$ pico /etc/X11/XF86Config cause I think Mandy is some kinda DeadRat clone. Anyway, you'll need to make sure you have 1024x768 first choice under a Subsection "Display," and then uncomment the appropriate DefaultDepth. Just stick with 24, don't try 32 bit. NB: Comment means put a # in front of something - uncomment means remove the # from in front of something. Does this make sense to you? If you search our Mandrake forum you might find the answer there. It's been asked a jillion times :} After you edit the file, best thing to do is hit Ctrl + Alt + Backspace to kill your X-server, then type startx to bring it back... Alternately, you can run xf86config if Mandy has it, and set it in there. Actually, that might be a tad easier right now :} |

Have you been able to get your resolution to 1024x768? Please let us know. |
wow thanks
um sure ill make sure ill do it next time well no i havent got it to 1024 yet :( but im in the control center messing around with the hard ware and i found my grahix card and it says its at 1024 at the moment but its still 800x600 when you look in the resolution any ideas? |
ok wait a sec
i was in the consolve and i make a new xconfig file but cos it didnt overright the old config file i saved it as a new one so now i know where the config file is how do i overright the old one? and where is the old one? |
The best idea I could come up with is in my first post. Post your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file and let us have a look at it.
