Can not change screen size [SOLVED]

[lee layland]

I have just replaced my HDD (my playing with Grub saw to the last one), and am having a problem changing the screen size.
I go into system settings, monitor and display, choose administration mode, change the size (after entering password), the screen does not change size but the 'Do you want to keep new settings' box comes up!
Any ideas, as I'm constantly chasing the opened applications round the screen lol!

Thanks, Lee.

It appears that after reboot, everything is working as it should.

Now to fix those hard drives!

Maybe, in the konsole:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

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

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

You could also edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (text file).

There should be something like this:

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AR [Radeon 9600]"
Monitor "VX2235wm"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Modes "1680x1050" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Modes = availalble resolutions, default first.
