@ Prakreet A better solution. Switch to the text only mode by pressing alt+f1 Enter your username and password there Now backup the original xorg.conf file using the command <code>sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bkup1</code> Enter the following command to stop the current display (which is running in the background) <code>sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop</code> Enter the following command to create a new xorg.conf (which has the name xorg.conf.new and will be residing in the home folder) <code>sudo Xorg -configure</code> Now copy the newly created xorg configuration file to the X11 folder <code>sudo cp ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf</code> Start gdm <code>sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start</code> After login check whether your resolution is increased or not. Also check the resolution settings in Systems>Preferences -- .............................. Junise Safvan www.gnuise.co.cc 9746 283 383 -- "Freedom is the only law".
