"Bloody" Linux is eat smooth up with search features. Try:<br>
Either the find command<br>
$ find / - name xorg.conf<br>
--OR-- much faster once slocate database update has been done<br>
[rj@mavis ~]$ locate xorg.conf<br>
/oldetc/X11/xorg.conf<br>
/etc/X11/xorg.conf<br>
/usr/X11R6/man/man5/xorg.conf.5x.gz<br>
/usr/X11R6/lib/Server/xorg.conf<br>
[rj@mavis ~]$ <br>
--OR-- if you really must use GUI, there's a search feature there also.
Don't know what its called in Gnome but in the KDE desktop they use the
very novel name "Find Files".<br>
<br>
The database used by the locate command is updated by running (as root)
the command "updatedb". Not too cryptic, huh? For the database to be
automatically updated while you're testing your eyelids for light
leaks, edit the file /etc/updatedb.conf and down a few lines change
the line that says<br>
DAILY_UPDATE=no<br>
to<br>
DAILY_UPDATE=yes<br>
and your database will be updated at 4:something each morning.<br>
<br>
As far as logging out, I can't help you in Gnome but in KDE the option
is "Logout...". <br>
<br>
"Help" is located 'tween "Find Files" and "Logout..." in the KDE menu.<br>

Geez! What am I doing wrong? I've been using this for *years*.
Recall thye aprt I said "... to get multiple resolutions"? Apparently
you don't have multiple resolutions yet.
I have 4 resolutions that I cycle through using <ctrl>-<alt> with
numeric keypad + or -.
If you find your xorg.conf file, see if you have a line similar to this
Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
If not, you only have a single fixed resolution and the <ctl> thingy has
nothing to do.
