How to change screen resolution
 
Hi Friends,
I have just installed Linux 9.0. But i do not know how to change scrren resolution I have checked on google and found a few answers like using redhat-config-xfree86 . But changing the resolution there does not help. It restores to its original value once i logout and login. Also I tried to edit /etc/X11/XConfig86 (I hope i am writing the file name correctly) but the file is changed to its original state once i logout and login. I also tried on using 256 colors etc. but it did not help.

Does anyone of you have some idea how to change mine screen resolution i am also having a windows and i can comfortably change mine resolution to 1024*768 and even more.
I am using SiS530 and 17 inch vintron monitor and perhaps mine video RAM usage is 8 MB.

Your help is required.
Thanks for your time and effort

Hi Bipin,
Which resolution are you telling about in Monitor section. I can find only ther following in Monitor section:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Unprobed Monitor"
HorizSync 31.5 - 37.9
VertRefresh 50.0 - 70.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection

If you are telling about Screen section with subsection Display I have done that but nothing happened.
Mine problem lies as it is.

Thank you all for taking time to reply to me.
Mine problem have been solved the problem was in the monitor HF (Horizontal refrfesh rates) which i changed to 48.36KHz by Clicking on Applications>System Settings>Display . Now the computer resolution is working fine.
