Resolution problem..
HI,
I have an problem with my pc bsd 7.1 system I can't seem to change the resolution from 1024x768 to 640x480 I temporarily use an very old monitor for my second computer.. it can only handle 640x480.. I can barrerly see the screen so its very annoying and I really need to switch it down to 640x480. I tried to edit the XF86Config with the kate editor using these commands in the terminal kdesu kate /etc/X11/XF86Config after that command I get an screen to type my root password.. I do so.. after that I get an error kdesu kate not found. any ideas ? thanks in advance. |

oh fuck after messing hours with the terminal , I tried changing the resolution just trough the Display setting menu and set it to 640x480 and it works. I vigured it would not be listed as this resolution wasn't listed in the (Display settup when using option 7 at the startup ) .
oh well it works and screen is big but at least I can see until I replace this trash monitor. |

It doesn't save though after a restart its simple in 1024x768 again. so the right method to fix this trough the terminal is still welcome... and have in mind I got pc bsd 7.1 installed it uses new version of KDE4 the kate editor is probable located somewhere else.. I got no clue I am new to BSD system. Thanks in advance |

KATE might not be standard issue anymore; try something else.

you mean another editor ? could you give me the terminal commands ? or a location where I can find that.. Thanks.

if you want a terminal editor: try 'ee' or 'nano'; graphical editors included should include xedit and whatever presence kedit/kwrite have in KDE4.
