I select menu item System/Administration/Display and authenticate. I
select a different resolution from the resolution menu. I click 'OK'.
A dialog box pops up:
"Display settings changed
You need to log out and restart the X server for the changes to take effect.
Coinfiguration was written to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, original
configuration saved as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup"
I click okay, open up a terminal window. ls -la shows
/etc/X11/xorg.conf was modified. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup does not
exist.
If I choose the highest resolution setting shown (832x624),
/etc/X11/xorg.conf has a screen section that looks like this:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
