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

[Low Lee Leong]

Hi Nicolas,
             Thank you!  I already follow your guide and manage to change the monitor screen resolution.  However, in my gnome windows, the resolution still remain as it is.

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:
