Screen Resolution Change

[freebird]

the last code /etc/sysconfig/videobios
should be:

VIDEOBIOS_PARAMETERS="38 1280 800"

Some One Using Open SUse can verify this.

Section "Screen"
  DefaultDepth 24
  SubSection "Display"
    Depth      15
    Modes      "1280x800" "1280x768" "1024x768" "1280x600" "1024x600" "800x600" "768x576" "640x480" 
  EndSubSection

This is the part that you need to edit but since you have set your DefaultDepth to 24, you need to edit the part that says "Depth 24" instead of "Depth 15".

While searching some linux forums I found this soln. for Ubuntu

Run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. Accept all of the default values (just keep hitting enter, use the tab key to select the OK buttons) until you hit the screen resolutions (they're at the very end of the setup). Select which ones you want.

nach_p don't just accept all the default values. Have a look at it first. Sometimes things aren't as you'd like.
