Screen resolution: x11.conf???

Post by alex.barylski »

Anyone care to walk me through the process of switching my screen resolution from 1024x768 to 800x600???

I am using Kubuntu and I cannot find a dialog which makes this process easy and according to members of Ubuntuforums.org you must edit x11.conf???

I have posted this on that website as well but yet to receive a answer in this regard...

Anyone?

You can swicth easily by pressing ctr + shift + [plus] or [minus] which will take it up or down providing you have more than one resolution listed like below

Code: Select all

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     16
                Modes    "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes    "1600x1024" "1024x768"
        EndSubSection
EndSection
