command to show current display resolution ??
 
Is there a command that will show the current display resolution?

I've got

Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024" "1152x864" ...

in my XF86Config. (Can't post it at the moment - it's on a different machine).

Doing the Ctrl-Alt-+ and - gives me some weird looking, big resolutions.

It looks like I am at 1152x864 rather than 1280x1024 so I was looking for a command that would tell where it's currently set. If one exists.

Thanks...

That box:
Slack 9
KDE
AMD K6-2 350 :rolleyes:
TNT2 M64 32MB
NEC E750
128MB RAM

I was looking for this too.

Ahh well... if it has to be informative and straight-to-the-point, it's almost always from Tinkster :)

Thanks to itsjustme too for asking :)

Yet another thread to put in my LQ bookmark.
