display settings

[lowell]

When you r4econfigured X do accomodate your new monitor, did you choose 
more than one resolution? If so, turn on the numberpad (if necessary; 
I'm remembering from RedHat) and strike Ctrl-Alt-+ (or -)(on the 
numberpad, not the top of the keyboard) to access those other res's.
    If you didn't choose other resolutions, consider running 
Xconfigurator from the command line and choosing some during the setup 
procedure. Then you can pick one that offers a useable desktop...
