No need to restart X, unless you've just modified your xorg.conf. Did you look at your xorg.conf and confirmed that there are several resolutions configured there? You should have a line in section "Screen", subsection "Display", like this one: Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" And then you should be able to cycle through these resolutions in X using CTRL ALT + and CTRL ALT - []'s Marcelo
