It's actually /etc/X11/XF86Config. Have you tried crtl-alt-+ (use the +
key on the number pad and not the regular keyboard)? This will cycle X
between the various screen resolutions. If you want to start out with a
certain screen resolution when you launch X, you should edit
/etc/X11/XF86Config. I start X at 32 bpp color depth and a screen
resolution of 1280x1024. I have this my /etc/X11/XF86Config:
Section "Screen"
Driver "svga"
# Use Device "Generic VGA" for Standard VGA 320x200x256
#Device "Generic VGA"
Device "matrox"
Monitor "iiyama"
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
# Omit the Modes line for the "Generic VGA" device
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024"
ViewPort 0 0
# Use Virtual 320 200 for Generic VGA
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 32
Modes "1280x1024" "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
Virtual 1280 1024
EndSubsection
EndSection
Notice in the Depth 32 Subsection, I have the 1280x1024 screen
resolution listed first so it will default to this resolution. I also
have the Virtual set to 1280 1024 so that when I run X with a screen
resolution of 1280x1024, the desktop fills the screen. I start X with
"startx -- -bpp 32". Then when I do ctrl-alt-+, X cycles between the
four different screen resolutions. Good luck,
