Changing - Screen resolution

[suhm]

Hi,

can someone please explain me how to change the screen resolution in x-windows to a nice, without reconfiguring?

i have read about the xgsx command line tool but i don't understand the params :\

so, for example i wish a resolution for my small tube at home, PAL mode. thx very much!

Try modifying /etc/xmode
it currently contains one line - "xmode NTSC,inter"

Change this to "xmode PAL,inter"

You can edit with "su", enter password, "vi /etc/xmode"

Google instructions to use "vi" before doing this.

Of course, you can easily change the kernel parameters in kernelloader without having to learn "vi" ;-)

Here is Mega Man's excellent post (I suggest bookmarking it) describing some of the useful kernel parameters and configuration for video modes:

BTW: i have found a initscript file in the home/fluxbox directory called init. is there a way to change the wallpaper as center and in addition to keep the background color?
which setting i also can change in this file?

Modify /home/adent/.fluxbox/init

Change as noted in this section "Setting the background in a style" of this instruction wiki - Howto set the background - Fluxbox-wiki
