Well, Just got RedHat 6.0 and gnome installed....Everything went great, but
the desktop is all big and clunky. I thought I specified 1024X768, but it
looks more like
480X640. I've got a few icons on the background and a menu bar at the
bottom. I looked through everything for about an hour trying to find the
control panel for the video/desktop but cant find it.....now I've rebooted
back into Win98 to read documentation but havent found anything yet....mabye
a kind person could help me out...

If you specified multiple resolutions during setup, you should be able to
press control + alt + +/- (keypad plus or minus), and this will cycle
through your resolutions.

1. Resizing desktop when resizing X mode

Is it possible to resize my desktop when switching modes with X.
I normally use an 1280x1024 mode, but when i turn to TV-out the max my
card supports is 1024x786, but then my desktop is lager than my mode and I
disslike this.....
Can I have my desktop resized aswell as my mode, on-the-fly?
