Entire Screen Image Shrunk to 640x480

[LaneLester]

When I booted my Dell laptop this morning the screen image was only about 640x480 on the 10245x768 screen. I could drag the contents around to get to things, but I don't know how to fix this problem.

Yesterday, I did some photo editing for the first time. I got an error message that I should enable 24-bit color. I opened the display config, but I never did find any "bit" settings. I don't think I changed anything there, but in view of my current problem, maybe I did.

How can I restore a fullscreen display?

Read this and see how it turns out.
You shouldn't have the black screen/keyboard lights problem, though.

Thanks! Reading that made me realize that I should have looked at xorg.conf first. Sure enough, it had gotten changed to 640x480 only. I restored the xorg.conf.1 file that was there, and now all is well.
