For some reason debian installed X with a really low resolution so I'm
trying to increase my screen resolution from 800x600 to something
like 1024x768.
I tried running dpg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and it returned
immediately without doing anything.
What is the procedure for reconfiguring my
s the parallel port? I want to do this to reduce the security issues related to running a program as root.

In the old days it was the xf86Config file, but doesn't seem to be now.
