how to restore my screen resolution back.?

[criacuervo]

I was trying a new monitor because i was seeing if it works, i did it, but when i connected back the monitor i use to have my screen configuration was broken , everything became bigger,(800X600).

i know is not so big problem but is bothering.

somebody told me to edit /etc/X11/xorg.config and and tried but i don't know what exactly to change in this section. I'll appreciate all suggestion.

Ok, exactly what i have to modify?
this is a look of the file in my fedora 8

# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "single head configuration"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "es"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nv"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"

I had a similar problem recently. I found in my //etc/X11/ dir that when I added / tested the other monitor that a backup copy of the original xorg.config was made. In my case the file looked like xorg.conf.20080927215157. I simply copied this file back as xorg.conf and my old setting were restored when I restarted X.

Alternatively, I used # sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg to restore another box resolution issue on another machine.

Either one worked well.
