how to: change resolution in Redhat 7.2

[nhbilly]

Okay.

i have installed Linux on my Abit KT7 but i have set the resolution so freaken high that everything looks so small. now i don't know how to lower the resolution a bit. I have search thru the whole program for such thing as display setting like Win, but without success.

and one more thing, are AMD compatible with RH 7.2?
my system hangs once in awhile, I have to power on and off.
RH did a hell of a job recognizing everything, except my nic
:hmm:


spec.
AMD 1.3 ghz
Tekram 390U2W
SB live value
D link nic
Radeon VE


thanks,
