They tell me that you should be able to press <control> (or
shift-control) and the Plus sign. It has never worked for me.
What I do is start a shell and then (as the root user) type "setup" (No
quotes)
This will bring up the setup utility. On the list is the X
Configuration utility. Run this. You will have to pick your video card
and monitor again. This time when it asks if you want to use the
default or choose your own default resolution, choose your own.
