It didn't work.

I have this in my xorg.conf:
[root@seokingdomheaven X11]# cat xorg.conf
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "single head configuration"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "r500"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection

In System->Preferences->Screen Resolution I have a maximum resolution of 1152x864. But System->Administration->Display I have a max of 1920x1200.

Hi Jay,

The first time I tried to run in terminal but I think your mentioning some GUI session and some other console. Where do I run that command? How do I get to that console?

Thank you,
Victor
