This may sound like a stupid question, and I am sure it is, but for the life of me, I can not figure out how to lower or raise the screen size in RedHat 7.2

It is currently set at 1024x768, and I wanted to try 800x600 - any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I tried using ctl/alt/+ or - but did not work...

Then you must not have configured any other resolutions.

Xconfigurator is your friend.

What is the easiest way to set that up?

Okay I had this problem too. Here is what you can do(warning: This may not be the best way, but it works for me).

Open a command window.
Type in....

Xconfigurator

Hit Enter.

Walk thru the setup program, and it will allow you to pick what resolution and color depth you want.

I have seen it hang while "testing" but you just reboot the box and all is good (and at the new resolution).

Please don't flame me for these directions, as I said it works for me.
