I have an application that does not fit onto the desktop, so therefore i need to change my screen resolution.
Ive looked in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 but im not sure what parameter to change in here, if any.
Anyone help?
Cheers

I believe this should work for you.
While in X run xvidtune -next
[Edit]
I believe this will give you the next available video mode (if you only need to move by one)... you can run xvidtune alone to get an app to use.
If I remember correctly anyways. it's been a while..

I think that command just switches between the current resolution and a stretched version of it.
The screen resolution is at 800x600 right now, so im guessing if i change it to 1024 the application window should fit onto the desktop fine?
hrm.. sorry about that...
How about XConfigurator.... do you have that on your system.. or XF86Config? either of those should let you play with your resolution...
I used Mandrake on my last linux install and just had to go Mandrake Control Center --> hardware --> display to change mine.
Sorted!
I added the following line to XF86Config so that it looked like this:
Thanks for trying to helpHTRegz, appreciated!Code:Section "Monitor"
# ModeLine "640x480" 25.175 640 664 760 800
# 480 491 493 525
# 800x600 @ 56 Hz, 35.15 kHz hsync
# ModeLine "800x600" 36 800 824 896 1024
# 600 601 603 625
ModeLine "1024x768" 46.0 1024 1032 1176 1344
768 771 777 806
EndSection
Do
[ctrl]+[alt]+[+]
and
[ctrl]+[alt]+[-]
work ??
the [+] and [-] should be the ones on the numpad (right most key's)

Probably because you don't have authority to delete a whole thread (you can delete posts). Anyways, tis gone. :D
That also works the_Jinx but i didnt have the 1024x768 resolution available in XF86Config, so therefore i dont think that would have worked initially!
Also when i use the [ctrl}+[alt]+[+]or[-] do revert back to 800x600, the full screen doesnt fit and if i move the cursor up, down, left or right the screen moves with it!
Is there any way to stop this?
