The command line way uses xrandr, a short howto can be found here: http://meganerd.ca/site/node/12 More details can be found from it's home: http://www.x.org/wiki/Projects/XRandR The GUI version should be under System -> Preferences -> Display There is also a Gnome applet that you can add to the man system bar (via right click). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkpjgyQACgkQwRXgH3rKGfMpGQCfW+L+MrS8mpi950CDAaOALopa A64AnjEBDWc0Fwl56q+6Nni73nAP+Dnj =Jx9H -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
