hi,
I've been a bit silly and now my screen resolution is set to something my
screen can't display - so everytime I try to run X I just get a message from
my monitor about hw it can't display.
I can get to a command prompt and have tried changing the screen resolution
using xf86config and xf86cfg but to no avail, when I reboot and start X it's
still broken.  I'm running mandrake 10 and the original change which threw
everything off was made from the mandrke command centre grphical interface
thingy. Any ideas how to gt back to a working screen resolution?
Thanks,
Rachel
