Hi There

Try going into /usr/X11R6 and typing in Xconfigurator from your root login.
this will elt you reset your monitor resolutions.
You should know the make and model of you grpahics card and the RAM.
If you've got a high amount of memory on you card, just select the 24bit
settings you are given.
I selected the 1024x860 on all three colums , 8, 16 and 24 bit and I got a
"mucky screen" so keep playing about with it until you get the right one.

Good Luck
