[TriLUG] display settings goof....

[dsandif]

Thanks to all who responded. In addition to the info give, I discorvered 
the great little buttons on my key board, "ctrl-alt" & " - " (minus key 
on number pad). This will revert the back a step to a lower
working resolution display without having to edit the xorg.conf file 
(ctrl-alt-+ if you want a higher resolution). Again, thanks for all your 
help.
