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.)
