MAKE a backup of the file first - I have knocked myself out after messing it up without a working backup. You can try your new res by starting a second X session: X :1 use Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill it. E-Mail disclaimer: http://www.sunspace.co.za/emaildisclaimer.htm --
You may also want to try sax2 -v or something like that check the man page there is a flag to let you do what you want and will not hide or suggest appropriate resolutions. All of this of course is not advisable unless you are sure you know what you are doing. I managed to get out of similiar situation with this approach - Windows OK, Linux - NO so I used the flag set the resolution, exit X session back in all OK. Good luck.
