    Hi all,

    I accidentally changed my display's resolution to a
    number that is higher than the one my Sony 17" LCD
    monitor can support. With that change, I cannot use my
    Linux system in graphic mode now and cannot use
    Preference GUI tool to change the display's resolution
    back to the previous number.
    I wonder if there is any shell command that allows me
    to change this display's resolution or is there any
    way to recover from this uncompatible setting?

    MS Windows allows user to test this change before it
    is actually applied by user to avoid this scenario. I
    wonder if Linux will also do the same...

    By the way, I'm using RedHat Fedora Core 1 package and
    I can see a lot of improvements in GUI when moving
    from 7.3 RedHat distribution.

    If you know how to resolve this problem, please let me
    know.

    Thank you very much.
