[SOLVED] How to change resolution from 800 to 1024 ?
HI i already asked this ,but obviously that post is made for other purposed ,and i did an error to post this question there, anyway now i want to choose my Screen Resolution
1024x768 but when i go to Configure Desktop ,i just see 800x600 as my maximum choice.
Where else to change it to 1024x768 ?
Yes ,i have a powerful VGA card 512 MB ATI radeon , i tried at ATI control center ,but there was no option for setting my monitor preferences there .I have had a 360 ,but it got the RROD
No more XBOX, i turned PS3
I had it for months ,it still amazes me!

Have you install ATI Proprietary Driver? Post the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file here.
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Yes my monitor supports up to 60 , and when i edit with Kwrite , when i want to save the changes i got this error :
The document could not be saved, as it was not possible to write to file:///etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Check that you have write access to this file or that enough disk space is available.

You must have root privileges to edit any file outside your /home/user_id folder.
Press Alt+F2 and type this
Code:kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf
