Hi,

I assume you allready tryed to use controlcenter but didnt find the resolution you wanted.

You need to edit your xorg.conf file. In a terminal open it up using nano as your editor.
Code:

nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Scroll down to the screensection and change your default depth and/or resolution. Remember how you did it, so you will be able to edit/copy the original file back in case X crashes with the new settings.

Have fun :)

Yep I know this way too, isn't there a more GUI way? or other program?
I mean, each time to edit the file isn't nice

Startmenu -> Configuration -> Control Center. Click the Hardware tab on the left side of the screen. Click the option called "Change the desktop screen resolution".
