Try xdpyinfo | head to find out the name of your display (it should be the first line, and it's usually :0.0), and try display -display "server_name". See how that works out.

I'm having a similar issue...

So far, I had to replace my monitor, and now I am unable to use the computer directly because no information is being displayed at all... Just a blank black screen.

I'm not even able to use the computer from a command line, and having to do everything remotely.

I need to change my display and settings for it.

Any ideas how to manually change a monitor remotely through a command shell?

**EDITED**
Well... didn't get it through a command shell, but I was able to edit the xorg.conf and get the display to work, but now my mouse is no longer working

I really need some HELP on this!

?

Just edit your xorg.conf over SSH

I got the monitor changed, but now my mouse is not working.

Keyboard works fine, but not the mouse since I changed the monitor.

try running xorgconfig, this will help to set up your monitor and mouse.

make sure you are root

I'm running RH Fedora Core 5, and I'm not able to locate that program on the computer.

Is there something else?
