[SOLVED] Display resolution

[whiskeytango73]

Installed Ubuntu 9.10 onto a clean system, then adjusted the screen resolution to display on (16:9) and then saved the changes thinking that I could re-adjust as necessary. I can't seem to re-adjust the resolution again because the System-Preferences-Display adjustment screen won't scroll down enough to let me change the settings again. Almost everything that I need to adjust is off-screen. Tried control+ and control- to no avail. Installation was so painless that I am willing to re-format, but resolution too big to let me do anything. Can anyone help me, Please?

What graphics card you are using?

lspci | grep VGA

Have you installed required drivers.

Solved. brought up a Terminal and :
xrandar --output default --mode 800x600
That command at least let me get it to the point of adjustment.
Thanks for at least trying to help.
I'll get the hang of this one day

lspci | grep -i vga command displays info of your Graphics Card and you can set correct driver in xorg.conf file to solve display problems.
If you still have any display problem, post the output of that command and contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

Thank you both for your help. I can understand how hard it might be to have patience with a relatively new user. Happy Holidays.
