i did a search about this on google and found this:
ou can also change the resolution within a running X "on the fly" by ctr-alt-+
(or -) provided your XF86Config is configured properly.
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
Virtual 1024 768
Besides the Modes, you also have to supply a Virtual resolution (currently
only tested with X 3.3.6).
thats a really old version of X, whats with the "Virtual" keyword? also, i
tried switching on the fly like you described, but it didn't work (i had
multiple modes, but ctrl-alt-+/- didn't work).
thanks for your help,
