Resolution

[Branta]

Mint 4.0 Gnome

My screen resolution does not set to 1024 x 768.

I cannot set this resolution from the 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz from Control Panel-->Screen Resolution. It allows the selection but the keeps Previous etc. screen continue at the 1280 x 1024.

What file do I set to set and keep the resolution to 1024 x 768?

It set correctly ONCE but thereafter it acts per the above description.

Branta,

The way I would do it is; open /etc/X11/xorg.conf for editing. Look in that file for the available screen resolutions. Take all the ones you don't want and put them on a separate line that is commented out. Example:

# 1024x768 1650x1050 ..... etc.

You should have only the one you want now in the original line.

Save the file and reboot or restart x and you should be there... hopefully.

I did it.

It worked.

Thanks,

Fred,

Thank you for your answer...and yes, I am really emabarrassed!

However, I did look at xorg.conf and there were no lines with the resolutions like your earlier answer suggested.

I finally found the gui in:

System Settings-->peripherals-->Monitor & Display

That fixed it.

I looked and looked for it before the query on this forum.
