Someone else may have a better answer, but one thing you can try is to
directly edit /etc/X11/XF86Config (or xorg.conf) and set your desired
resolution there. After editing the file you will need to restart X for
the changes to occur. Not as dynamic as your previous method, but it
should work.

Hello There,
I want to use my laptop (RedHat 9) when I make presentations. I used to
be able (with old laptop) to change screen resolution from (current
1600x1200) to whatever will the (outside) projector accept (usually
800x600 or so...) It used to work (again on old laptop) with CRTL-ALT +
or - and the resolution would change.
When I use CRTL-ALT + or - now, the actual area of screen changes and
thus I loose part of screen (it shrinks toward middle part of screen so
that for example 800x600 is middle quarter of screen only). The big part
of X window is lost (top menu bar...) and so I cannot use it to show PDF
presentations, but have to (Yack) reboot to windows and show PDF there
(I use LaTeX, and foils, slides or beamer classes to make those PDFs...).
Any suggestion on what to do to get this change in resolution, while
maintaining the screen size (and coverage) would be appreciated.
Thanks, Boris
