Changing resolution

[Cloud]

Another quick question here how do you change the resolution in xfce4? I already correctly configured my monitor in xorg and it's capable of 1280x1024 but when I go into display settings in xfce the only option is 800x600.
Thanks cloud

You need to set your default setting in your xorg.conf. I never adjusted the resolution via Xfce.

The xfce4 desktop resolution program simply uses 'xrandr' to query the server for supported resolutions.

Some newer drivers can query the monitor to determine what resolutions are supported but older ones need to be configured manually in your xorg.conf file. If you attach your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log files to a post here, we might be able to point you in the right direction.

thanks for the responses guys and yes I set the default resolution in my xorg.conf unfortunately I have to do a re installation so I'll post back if I get the same problem again.
