Hi...I'm fairly new to Linux myself,but have a solution...one of many,as I'm sure you'll get responses from all the gurus out there :) Press ALT-CTRL and plus/minus to change the resolution. Also,there is a file...I stand to be corrected....its called Xconfigurator I believe,within it are instructions on how to accomplish various tasks. The manual pages are also a great source of info...maybe a little intimidting at 1st,but the more you use them,the more pieces of the puzzle will slip into shape.IE: man X is a good starting place :) I hope this helps you...and once again,I'm sure you'll get more "professional" replies within time. Cheers, Glen.
