Sorry about assuming it called grandr. When I tried grandr I got the following after clicking on apply or okay I'm not sure which. It did change the resolution though. I tried changing the resolution again using grandr and this time I got a black screen. I did alt-F1 then alt-F7 to get the screen to come back.
Brent bre...@belmer:~$ grandr The program 'grandr' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 15 error_code 8 request_code 157 minor_code 7) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
