[ubuntu-my] How to configure my monitor and display adapter in Ubuntu 6.10

[Nicholas Ng]

Airfoil,

To configure the monitor and display adapter, you need to re-configure 
your Xorg server. To do that, first backup your xorg.conf file by 
executing the following command:

   # sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup

then, stop X by executing the following command (this will put you to 
text only mode):

   # sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

You can do the whole X configuration process by executing:

   # sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Once you have re-configured Xorg, start GNOME again by executing this 
command:

   # sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

Hope this help, which I grabbed from here:
