Comment » Ubuntu monitor resolution
I’m very happy with my Ubuntu install, but one thing that was bugging me was my monitor’s resolution. It is a 17” CRT which was set at 1024x768 by default. This was an okay resolution, but I noticed that Evolution required a lot of scrolling, and everything was just too big. Unfortunately that was the max resolution available in the control panel, so I went into etc/X11/xorg.conf and added a few more resolutions using the text editor Nano. True, Nano isn’t the most sophisticated editor out there. But for small, simple tasks like this it works just fine.
For some reason I can’t find an option to adjust the screen resolution in the KDE control panel like in GNOME. I’ll have to look into this some more later.
