I guess my CentOS is screwed up because that function doesn't work. Only way to resize it was to go into the menu areas and set it there.

Just in case you forgot, did you check to see if your xorg.conf had a mode line that allows multiple resolutions. I posted the below in one of my replies to you.

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.
I'll add this further recommendation. If you don't have a similar mode line, you can manually edit it. Just be sure you don't get a *big* error in there in case your monitor is an older one that can be damaged by outrageous settings (in it's view).
In the "Monitor" section, make sure your horizontal and vertical settings are reasonable too.
Habitually not repeating myself 'cause I don't really care...

Yea I checked it and it had the information in it. I reset the display going through the menus then tried the ctrl alt +/- and it works now. Maybe you have to change it a couple times first? Don't know. Wouldn't work before I did that.
