Greetings! I am running Mandrake 10 right now. I'm having a problem changing my screen resolution. I go into the Mandrake Control Center and change the settings, but no matter what I do they stay the same! Currently it is set at this obnoxiously high resolution that hurts my eyes when I try to look at anything. I've even tried editing the /etc/X11/XF86Config file. Any suggestions?

BTW, I am running an ATI Mobility Card using the Radeon Driver. I have X updated to the latest version.

open a terminal and su to root.
type xrandr. This will show you options for lower resolution settings. Then you go xrandr -s "insert resolution of your choice". ex: xrandr -s 800X600. That will do it!!:)
