Re: Etch 4.0r4a desktop how to set resolution and refresh rate?

Hm. For me it's Desktop menu -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution.

Do you not have a desktop menu? I know my Gnome configuration is a
little weird, it seems to be missing a common top-level menu...

I installed Debian Etch 4.0r4a this afternoon, using the Desktop package
choice. I am wondering how to set the screen resolution and refresh rate.
Right-clicking on the desktop brings up a menu that doesn't seem to include
such. Left-clicking on the Gnome (?) foot, looking around the menus, and
trying what would seem to be likely candidates didn't help. STFW, including
the Debian website and debian-user mailing list archive, gives hits
referring to doing math and editing X configuration files and/or using
desktop utilities from previous Debian versions that no longer exist.


How do I change the screen resolution and refresh rate on Debian Etch
4.0r4a?


Is there complete and current documentation for Etch 4.0r4a?


TIA,

David
