I am having trouble getting X to use a screen resolution that is less than the maximum. When I edit my xorg.conf to add a DefaultDepth and a Mode of 1024x768, it still comes up at 1280x1024. I did not create any modeline entries yet, since I'm not sure how to do that. My GUI (icewm) works, but

To make things obvious you will have to take a look at your xorg.conf file Please do change dir to its parent folder (cd /etx/X11/) and run cat xorg.conf | tr -s \n | grep -v # that should make your xorg.conf look simple and clear. Here is mine, which still wont go in to 1024x768 mode:

Hmm..., this is strange. BtW, after adding modeline, you need to restart Xorg. Anyways to get modeline for 1024x768 you can try switching to 'vesa' driver temporarily, extract modeline for 1024x768 From there, and then enter that modeline in xorg.conf. I tried this method when I'm having
