If I use "system-config-display" or "system-config-display --reconfig" although I get a message that I need to log out of GNOME, to have the new file written, for new Display Resolution, logging out or restarting the box does not result in the new settings for the Display taking hold. Sometimes, the number of colors is updated, but *never* the Resolution. Below is my xorg.conf file. What do I need to include in xorg.conf for the resolution to be 1280 x 1024 instead of the current 1600 x 1200? Display is a Dell M991 and the Video Card is shown as Nvidia NV11 (GeForce2 MX/MX400). CentOS 5.2 (32 bit) fully updated. TIA!
