I was unable to find a xorg.conf file. Bloody Linux does not have a search feature to find the files and I have been unsuccessful in locating it. When I go to the GUI portion to change resolutions I have the same options as you listed below. As for rebooting vs logging out ... I still haven't figured out how to log out.
"Bloody" Linux is eat smooth up with search features. Try: Either the find command $ find / - name xorg.conf --OR-- much faster once slocate database update has been done [rj@mavis ~]$ locate xorg.conf /oldetc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf /usr/X11R6/man/man5/xorg.conf.5x.gz /usr/X11R6/lib/Server/xorg.conf [rj@mavis ~]$ --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".
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 DAILY_UPDATE=no to DAILY_UPDATE=yes and your database will be updated at 4:something each morning.
As far as logging out, I can't help you in Gnome but in KDE the option is "Logout...".
"Help" is located 'tween "Find Files" and "Logout..." in the KDE menu.
And let us not forget the "whereis" command... oops. That requires knowledge of something like a file/command name, which would have been acquired had Chris followed any of the reading advisories provided him.
Ta-ta.
