How are things, Quin? Typically, if your screen supports multiple resolutions, modern versions of xorg will make them all available. You can cycle through them using CTRL ALT + and CTRL ALT - If those key combos don't change anything, then you're going to have to tweak your xorg.conf or use xrandr as suggested by others. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com
