Well, I got GDM to load on bootup, but whenever it loads, it has the resolution too high and I get a virtual screen :shock: , it's starting to get on my nerves scrolling around the screen. I want the resolution to 1024x768 but it's way too high(hmm, my graphics card supports it though, damn x.org). Can anyone tell me how to do this?
NOTE: I already tried gdm.conf

Ctrl + Alt + "-" or "+" on keypad may help but its more likely a config thing

Try the X config - in xfree86 it's XF86Config in /etc/X11 but I don't remember its name in x.org - the format is the same though. You should have a screen config section inside - something like this:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "MonitorPhilips"
Device "NvidiaGeForce4MX440"
Monitor "Philips109MP"
DefaultDepth 24
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection
EndSection
You can remove 1280x1024 and you should have 1024x768 (of course names at the begining of the section must be as in your config :-) just change the display subsections).
EDIT: it should probably be xorg.conf

well, i couldn't find xorg.conf so i did
slocate xorg.conf
All it found was a man page that's no good. By the way, if anyone know the command for X.org config, please tell me, I loved xf86config, but it's all gone now

WOAH, omg, that's wierd. My X.org uses XF86Config still, so I fixed my problem. Well, I had to reinstall X too because when I first installed I still had X running . I'm such an idiot, thanks tho, because I still wouldn't have been able to fix it without you.
