    logon to the box and open a terminal
    type:
    cd /etc/X11
    su
    vi xorg.conf
    add
    Modes "1024x768" "800x600"

    to the Screen Section so that it looks like this
    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device "Videocard0"
    DefaultDepth 16
    SubSection "Display"
    Viewport 0 0
    Depth 16
    Modes "1024x768" "800x600"
    EndSubSection

    If nvidia drivers are installed successfully better use 1280x800 resolution.

    If you have nvidia drivers installed, open a terminal and run:
    Code:
    nvidia-settings
    This will give you a nice little GUI where you can change your display settings.
