I think you mean 1024 X 768. Which monitor are you using ? It may be the 
case that your monitor does not support this resolution. How much Video 
RAM is available to your Video Adapter ? Make sure that its more than 2 MB.

 Hi Friends,
 I have just installed Linux 9.0. But i do not know how to change scrren 
 resolution I have checked on google and found a few answers like using 
 redhat-config-xfree86 . But changing the resolution there does not help. It 
 restores to its original value once i logout and login. Also I tried to edit 
 /etc/X11/XConfig86 (I hope i am writing the file name correctly) but the file 
 is changed to its original state once i logout and login. I also tried on 
 using 256 colors etc. but it did not help.

The file is /etc/X11/XF86Config If you did edit on that then the why
should it change??

 Does anyone of you have some idea how to change mine screen resolution i am 
 also having a windows and i can comfortably change mine resolution to 
 1024*768 and even more.
 I am using SiS530 and 17 inch vintron monitor.

How much vid mem you have? If it is less than 2MB then all you can work
is 800x600 resolution. Should not be a monitor problem. Look up FAQ on
XFree86 site.
