Quoting Andrew andy.allen@virgin.net:
I've just installed CentOS 5.3 on my desktop and need to change the installed display setting from 1280x1024 to 1024x768 (more suitable for my monitor). When I try this on the Display Settings tab, I get the message:
"Display settings changed You need to log out and restart the X server for the changes to take effect. Configuration was written to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, original configuration saved as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup."
Trouble is, I don't know how to restart the X server apart from rebooting the computer, but that has no effect and the display settings remain unchanged! Any help appreciated,
