Re: [PLUG] X screen resolution

[Kevin Brosius <kbrosius@kns.com>]

Also, often the X-server is configured with multiple resolutions, so you
can switch between them on the fly.  Try Ctl-Alt-+ or - (usually the
keypad + and -).

For more permament changes, your distro should have an X configure
tool.  XFree86 4.x comes with a tool called 'xf86cfg' by default,
although I hear RH8 removes this.
