Shell script for changing resolution

[Gediminas2]

Hello, everyone!
I have been testing some windows apps lately, and most of them leave my desktop resolution very low.
Every time I have to go to systemsettings and choose the resolution manually.
I thought, maybe I could do that with a shell script.
Does anyone know if that is even possible?

P.S. I'm using Kubuntu 7.04, and the resolution I want is 1280 x 1024 @ 50 Hz

Cheers!

Check the xrandr command. It can switch resolutions. But not all graphics cards drivers support it.

There is also a kde applet that could be handy krandrtray.
