You can drop down to your command line and run XConfigurator and change the resolution that way.

Configure X, that should help you

Or edit the /etc/XF86Config by hand or try "ctrl alt +/- "(plus and minus on the keypad)

I tried this one time and it booted me out of X.

Sorry, this is what I was talking about. I didn't mean eding the XF86Config file.

I know. But since I got my config file almost perfect I dont have to hit ctrl alt +/-. Anything in the log when you do this? ctrl alt backspace kills X, maybe you hit that instead? 😛

Everyone makes mistakes. Did not mean it as an insult 😛
