== Hints and Tips == |

* Altering the desktop resolution |
|||
** Somehow pull up a terminal (there is one easily accessible via the classic Gnome desktop) |
|||
** Either edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (example below focusing on the 'Modes' line setting 800x600) OR run system-config-display and select the appropriate resolution from the GUI |
|||
** Restart the X server with ctrl-alt-backspace (NOTE: This may take some seconds. It will drop back to a login prompt but if you wait it will start up X again, assuming you provided a valid resolution.) |
