dual screen resolution issues

[MajinBlayze]

I set up dual screens on a fresh install of Feisty, and had things working perfectly with both monitors at 1025x768. I increased one (primary) monitor to the next level (11??x) and now i get the feature where the desktop is larger than the screen, and moving the mouse around the edges of the screen scrolls the desktop. I hate that feature.
Now when I go to "Monitor & Display" in the System Settings menu, it crashes immediately (SIGSEGV):
(no debugging symbols found)
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".
(no debugging symbols found)
...

#10 0xb6998b2c in ?? () from /usr/lib/libX11.so.6

--------------------------------------------------------------------
This didn't happen until I changed the resolution of the primary monitor. I would like to change the resolution of the primary monitor back to 1024x768. If this is possible to do from the command line I would appreciate advice. Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks

Re: dual screen resolution issues

You could edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf with text editor. Xorg.conf is xorg X Window System server configuration file

New xorg.conf with default options:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

You know something about hardware:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

This reconfigures xorg (ask questions - what you want to do).

Here is good page of sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg:
