alteration of screen resolution

[Keith Antoine]

I have had a very successful week with installation of programs, unusual in 
the extreme with me. 

(lonni, have at last got MPLayer up and running with all bells and whistles)

I also loaded, with trepidation the Nvidia Accelerated Linux Drivers. I 
editted /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and went on working rebooted fine, but later I 
finished and turned the computer off.  This morning it had a problem booting 
kde and said it was either an X11 prob or kde startup. Hell ! I had not as 
yet done a backup. Luckily, after about an hour I saw that I had editted in 
the config file a _Line Below_ in the drivers section from 'nv' to 'nvidia'. 
Corrected this and yep she booted up, BUT, in a very different resolution to 
the 1024x768 xxHz I was in. 

I have done something in kde or Xfree which resulted in this, now I cannot 
remember how to easily alter the screen resolution. Yes its been talked about 
often enough and I was sure I had a hard copy, but cannot find it. The books 
I have are useless too.
