Screen Resolution

[Que, Wei-Feng]

Why not use "xorgconfig" (if you installed xorg) or
	       "XF86Config (if you installed XFree86)
to configure the screen resolution

It can be set in the section:

    400 Section "Screen"
    401     Identifier  "Screen 1"
    402     Device      "NVIDIA GeForce"
    403     Monitor     "My Monitor"
    404     DefaultDepth 24
    405
    406     Subsection "Display"
    407         Depth       8
    408         Modes       "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    409         ViewPort    0 0
    410     EndSubsection
    411     Subsection "Display"
    412         Depth       16
    413         Modes       "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    414         ViewPort    0 0
    415     EndSubsection
    416     Subsection "Display"
    417         Depth       24
    418         Modes       "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    419         ViewPort    0 0
    420     EndSubsection
    421 EndSection

Just remind the line 418..
Modes	the first value :"1024x768" will set the screen resolution
and you can press the Ctrl + Alt + "+" and Ctrl + Alt + "-" to switch the screen resolution 
between this three value 1024x768/800x600/640x480.
